• FRIDAY MORNING CONCERTS are offered to high school

A community-wide collaboration to educate and inspire…
VIOLINS of HOPE
CLEVELAND
For Jews enduring
utter despair and unimaginable evil during the Holocaust, music offered
haven and humanity and a vital reminder that
even the most brutal regime could not rob them
of their faith. In some cases, the ability to play
the violin spared Jewish musicians from more
grueling labors or even death. Nearly 50 years
ago, master violin maker Amnon Weinstein
heard such a story from a customer who survived the Holocaust because his job was to play
the violin while Nazi soldiers marched others to
their deaths.
Deeply moved, Mr. Weinstein put out a call for
violins from the Holocaust that he would restore
to honor the memories of those who died in concentration camps. Each instrument carries its
own story and makes its own distinct sound in
the hands of premier musicians around the world.
and live performances not only helps us understand the reality of the Holocaust, it is a
tremendous tribute to those who perished
— one of remembrance of the past and
hope for the future.
• Cleveland Institute of Music Chamber Music
Concerts and Lectures. CIM faculty and distinguished guests play carefully restored violins that survived the Holocaust. The featured
repertoire reflects the strength and perseverance of the Jewish people and the powerful
role music played during that time.
• Facing History and Ourselves Violins of Hope

many middle and high schools throughout
the region (check with your school).

These violins will be coming to Cleveland in
Fall 2015, and a community-wide collaboration
led by Case Western Reserve University, with
the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage, Cleveland
Orchestra, Cleveland Institute of Music, Jewish Federation, Facing History and Ourselves,
Ideastream and many others, will allow the violins to speak for those who can speak no longer.
Of special interest to music educators:
• Violins of Hope Exhibit at Maltz Museum
October 1-January 3. The 18 violins on display at the Maltz Museum bore witness to
some of the most horrible atrocities in human history. Sharing the individual stories
behind these violins through video, imagery
The Cleveland Orchestra, The Anti-Defamation
League, and The Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage present two workshops designed specifically for music teachers in the Greater Cleveland
area. The October workshop at Severance Hall
will introduce teachers specifically to the music
that will be performed on December’s Cleveland
Orchestra Violins of Hope Education Concerts.
The November workshop at the Maltz Museum
will use the ADL’s Echoes and Reflections resource guide to help music educators introduce
the subject of the Holocaust to their students
while examining the role of music as both a form
of resistance and as a source of comfort, inspiration and hope, before, during, and after the war.
To register for these workshops please see
page 9.
Teachers participating in both workshops will be eligible to
win a free docent led field trip for 20 students to the Maltz
Museum to view the special Violins of Hope exhibit, as well
as 20 free tickets to a December Cleveland Orchestra Education Concert including a meet and greet with musicians
and an up close look at one of the Violins of Hope.

The violin was embedded in Jewish culture for centuries before World War II, but it assumed
extraordinary new importance during the Holocaust. For some Jews, the violin was liberator,
freeing them and their families from Nazi tyranny. For others it was savior, sparing their lives
in ghettos and concentration camps. For many, it provided comfort during some of the darkest
hours In history.
In these Cleveland Orchestra Education
Concerts, music and drama (provided by
actors from the Case Western Reserve
University/Cleveland Play House MFA
Program in Acting) combine to give us a
powerful new lens through which to view
the important role of music in Jewish life
before, during and after the Holocaust, and
express the themes of spirit, resistance,
resilience, and hope.
