- **Event Name**: Violins of Hope - University of Kentucky
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 14 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm – Sat, 14 Feb, 2026 at 09:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Violins of Hope is a collection of more than 70 historic violins, violas, and cellos that survived the Holocaust, played by musicians in ghettos, concentration camps, and as symbols of resistance. These instruments have been restored by violin-makers Amnon and Avshalom Weinstein, owners of the collection. For one week in February 2026, Avshalom Weinstein and these instruments will visit Lexington, Kentucky, for a series of educational and cultural offerings on the University of Kentucky campus and in the greater Lexington community, culminating in a concert by the University Symphony Orchestra which will feature students playing many of the instruments.

We invite you to read the stories of perseverance, view these stirring symbols of hope, and listen to our student musicians perform music to inspire us all.

Sponsored in part by the Jewish Federation of the Bluegrass.
