Wharton Arts proudly presents A Concert for Peace with Violins of Hope, a poignant tribute to resilience and the power of music. Led by Artistic Director and Principal Conductor Helen H. Cha-Pyo, this special concert showcases the extraordinary Violins of Hope, precious stringed instruments that survived the Holocaust. These instruments, some of which were played by prisoners of ghettos and death camps, have been meticulously restored by Israeli luthiers Amnon and Avshi Weinstein. Today, they serve as symbols of survival and perseverance, bringing hope to audiences worldwide. Join us for an unforgettable weekend of remembrance, reflection, and renewal at A Concert for Peace with Violins of Hope as we commemorate the resilience of the human spirit and honor the legacy of those who perished in the Holocaust.
