In 2020, in response to the turbulent and disconnected time of the early pandemic and the murder of George Floyd, violinist and former member of Silkroad Ensemble Johnny Gandelsman invited a wide array of American or US-based composers to reflect on the current state of society in a personal and intimate way.
Over the course of a year-long residency at the Hop, Gandelsman performs the anthology and expands the project with three new Hop-commissioned pieces. The winter concert features Breathe, a composition by Dartmouth alum Kojiro Umezaki, commissioned by the Hop. Umezaki will be in residence to shed light on his work.
