Violins of Hope:
A Symphony of Resilience and Remembrance Intimate Concert
Experience the Power of Music and the Resilience of the Human Spirit
Violins of Hope are a private collection of violins, many of which belonged to Jews before and during World War II. These instruments served as a beacon of hope, proving that even in the darkest times, music can touch hearts and ignite hope.
JFSA is pleased to present a series of events featuring these Violins. Our signature event will be an intimate concert featuring a string quartet led by Maestro Taras Krysa playing some of these historic instruments. Join us for a special VIP cocktail hour before the concert, where you’ll have the opportunity to see the Violins of Hope up close.
Proceeds benefit JFSA programs and services. Your support and presence at these events contribute to JFSA’s mission of providing help, hope, and support to those facing life’s most pressing challenges.
