Violins of Hope: Strings from the Holocaust Panel Discussion

SATURDAY | JUNE 7 | 10:30 AM – 12 PM
NORMA KERSHAW AUDITORIUM | PANEL DISCUSSION & MUSICAL PERFORMANCE

The Philharmonic Society of Orange County is honored to present Violins of Hope in Orange County in June 2025. Violins of Hope is a project consisting of concerts, education and community engagements based on a collection of over 60 string instruments owned by Jewish musicians before and during the Holocaust. All instruments have a common denominator: they are symbols of hope and a way to say, "Remember me, remember us. Life is good, celebrate it for those who perished, for those who survived. For all people."

Hear from a panel of individuals essential to the Violins of Hope project, including founder Avshi Weinstein, paired with excerpts of music by violinist Niv Ashkenazi performing on a holocaust-era violin.

Tickets: Free with RSVP
