Violins of Hope graphic

The Music of Survival concert is part of the Springfield Violins of Hope initiative. The concert is a unique opportunity to hear live performance on violins from the Violins of Hope collection that consists of instruments that were owned by Jewish musicians before/during the Holocaust and that have now been restored, and travel around the world in a kind of live exhibit. This concert features three violinists playing six violins from the collection. The program includes: pieces by composers like Robert Dauber and Ilse Weber that perished during the war; pieces by composers like Ernest Bloch and Joel Engel that worked to create a Jewish art music style; and contemporary musical responses to the Holocaust like John Williams, Theme from Schindler's List. 

There are 2 concert times: 2:00pm and 4:30pm.
