Daniel Hope’s latest album, “Irish Roots” due for release on July 5, 2024, embodies his deep connection to Ireland, inherited from his paternal great-grandfather who left Waterford for South Africa in the 1890s. Although never residing in Ireland, Hope’s fascination with its culture led to the creation of the documentary “Celtic Dreams: Daniel Hope’s Hidden Irish History”. Supported by musicologist Olivier Fourés and experiences with award-winning Irish band Lúnasa, Hope explores the intersection of folk and classical music. “Irish Roots” reflects this journey, featuring compositions by Ina Boyle and Turlough O’Carolan alongside classics like “Danny Boy” and Vivaldi’s L’estro armonico concertos. Daniel Hope is joined on his new album by a stellar line-up of guest artists, including Lúnasa, harpist Siobhán Armstrong, flautists Sir James and Lady Jeanne Galway, singer Rea Garvey, multi-instrumentalist and folk musician Ross Daly, fellow violinist Simos Papanas, and the Thessaloniki State Symphony Orchestra conducted by Daniel Geiss.
