Official statement by Daniel Hope:
"I regret to announce that I must cancel my two performances in Estonia with the Thessaloniki State Symphony Orchestra due to a short-notice medical procedure. I was particulalry looking forward to this collaboration and to the world premiere of a new work, but my doctors have advised me to rest for the next few days.
My sincere apologies to the audience, the presenters, the orchestra and its leadership, and to the composer. I am deeply grateful for everyone's understanding and hope to return to Estonia and to collaborate with the Thessaloniki State Symphony Orchestra very soon."
