The Violins of Hope are a collection of string instruments, originally owned and played by Jewish musicians in concentration camps, which have been lovingly restored over the past two decades by renowned Israeli violin-makers Amnon and Avshalom Weinstein as a tribute to those who were lost.
Congregation Sinai acknowledges the generous support of concert underwriters, Teri and James Baron.
This program is part of Violins of Hope San Francisco Bay Area presented in association with Music at Kohl Mansion, Burlingame, CA in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
