Gather at Next Stage Arts Project in Putney, VT for an anthology of compelling new works for the virtuoso violinist, including a Hop commission.

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.
