British violinist Daniel Hope (41) has been appointed Principal Conductor of the Zurich Chamber Orchestra, starting with the 16/17 season. Hope will be the successor to Sir Roger Norrington. He is supposed to do more than music, as the orchestra’s manager says: « With his musical and communications skills, Hope will strengthen the profile and global reach of the orchestra. In exchange, the Zurich Chamber Orchestra will provide the musical backbone for Hope’s various projects. »
