Daniel Hope and Marie Sophie Hauzel to perform in Madrid

Violinist Daniel Hope and pianist Marie Sophie Hauzel will perform the first concert of the Scherzo Foundation season on October 6 at the Auditorio Nacional de Música in Madrid. The recital features works by Antonín Dvořák, Alexey Shor, and César Franck.

In discussing the upcoming performance, Hope noted the unique energy of Spanish audiences, describing them as passionate and vital in their reception of music. He also expressed a desire for concert halls to be more welcoming environments, suggesting that certain classical music rituals might distance younger generations from the art form.
