Experience the amazing true stories from James Grymes’ acclaimed book 'Violins of Hope: Violins of the Holocaust - Instruments of Hope and Liberation if Mankind's Darkest Hour' in this one-of-a-kind program, specially curated by the author and adapted for the Pittsburgh Jewish Music Festival.
In conjunction with Pittsburgh's current Violins of Hope: exhibit, this program showcases the role of Jewish musicians during the Holocaust. A chamber orchestra of string players from the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra will join local narrators to bring to life the inspirational messages of these instruments and their remarkable owners through words and music.
The program includes classical works as well as Yiddish song arrangements that were significant to the lives of the original owners of the Violins of Hope, selected by author James Grymes.
Made possible by the Jack Buncher Foundation, Temple Emanuel, and the Diskin Music Fund.
