The University Musical Society has provided 2 tickets to a 2023 performance of violinist Daniel Hope with the Zurich Chamber Orchestra at Hill Auditorium at U-M.

Hope returns to Ann Arbor with a new program that takes a deep dive into the rich repertoire of American music, exploring its roots and distinctive qualities. "We know a piece is from America the moment we hear it," he says. "But what makes it sound American?" With arrangements by Paul Bateman for solo violin with various classical and jazz combinations, this concert will explore some familiar and unfamiliar tunes by a variety of American composers.
