About the artist Daniel Hope

Daniel Hope was born in Durban, Republic of South Africa in 1974. When he was six months old, his father, the distinguished novelist, poet and anti-apartheid activist Christopher Hope, was finally granted an exit visa. The family went first to Paris, then to London, where Daniel’s mother Eleanor was engaged by Yehudi Menuhin to be his secretary, later becoming the celebrated violinist and conductor’s long-time manager. In 1978 Hope began to study the violin in London with Sheila Nelson, of whom he has spoken as ‘probably the greatest-ever music teacher of children’. Six years later he commenced his studies at the Royal College of Music with Itzhak Rashkovsky, Felix Andrievsky and Grigory Zhislin and appeared on British television playing Shostakovich with double-bass player Gary Karr. In 1985 he was invited by Yehudi Menuhin to perform the Bartók Duos for German television, which began a long association between the two violinists that included over 60 concerts. From 1992–1998 he was a pupil of Zakhar Bron at London’s Royal Academy of Music from where he graduated with a Masters Diploma. Daniel Hope is renowned for his musical versatility and creativity and has appeared all over the globe with the world’s most renowned orchestras and conductors.
