Conceived by the English violinst Daniel Hope, the winner of Evening Standard’s “2001 Classical Music Performer” and Germany’s most prestigious music journal Fono Forum’s “Young Artist of the Year” awards, this project brings seven preeminent artists from different fields and an influential actor. The narrator of the project will be the Austrian actor Klaus Maria Brandauer, an Oscar nominee and a Golden Globe Award winner for his performance as Bror Blixen in “Out of Africa” and the recipient of the “Best Actor” award in Cannes with István Szabó’s “Mephisto”. Premièred at the Gstaad Festival, this magnificent project infusing music and prose in an original way, evokes the meaning of peace by bringing together musicians from different countries and using the universal language of literature and music.
