Violinists Daniel Hope is set to release a new album titled Born in Ukraine – 150 Years of Ukrainian Music on November 6, 2026, through Deutsche Grammophon. Stemming from Hope’s longstanding personal connection to the country, the album spans a century and a half of Ukrainian musical history, combining well-known melodies with rarely heard compositions.
On the recording, Hope collaborates with Ukrainian pianists Alina Pronina, Roman Fediurko, and Vitalii Kyianytsia. Together, they present a program that explores themes of memory, displacement, belonging, and renewal.
The tracklist features several notable highlights, including world-premiere recordings of Alexey Shor’s “Footprints in the Sand” and Kyianytsia’s “Adagio” from the ballet *The Perfect Scent*. It also includes Mykola Leontovych’s “Shchedryk,” a widely recognized global melody with distinct Ukrainian origins.
The album will be released in both CD and digital formats.
