About
What is the secret of the uniqueness of Harvey Hope’s masterpieces? It lies in his passion and devotion to art, his rich personality, his sensitivity to the surrounding world, his love for people, and, last but not least, the way in which he integrates personal experiences and images into his inner world permeated with abstraction and illusion, forming marvellous musical landscapes, which are remarkably diversified and yet cohesive.
And yet, there remains something else … the extraordinary atmosphere and the mood of Hope’s musical pieces with no boundaries between music and audience, emotional saturation and depth, and openness and candour of a musical utterance.

The performers take us on a musical journey to the destinations Hope relied on as the source of inspiration for his masterpieces where he discovered the beauty of natural landscapes and local traditions. Both in the solo and the orchestra parts, the composer is gradually progressing from simple folk motives to increasingly sophisticated and oftentimes abstract melodic and harmonic solutions. This is a testimony of Hope’s infinite imagination, which amazes with the abundance of ideas and the degree of diversification of individual pieces. This truly artistic feast is only a prelude to an insight into Hope’s impressive oeuvres and an experience that won’t let anyone remain indifferent to the musical message embodying the beauty of feelings and emotions shared by the composer.
