A Concert for Peace with Violins of Hope

WHEN: Sunday, January 12, 3-5 p.m.

WHERE: New Jersey Performing Arts Center, One Center Place, Newark

 




Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ is proud to support A Concert for Peace with Violins of Hope, a poignant tribute to human resilience and the power of music.

Presented by Wharton Arts, 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 Weinstein (z”l) and his son, Avshi Weinstein. Today, they serve as symbols of survival and perseverance, bringing hope to audiences worldwide.

Join the Wharton Arts and Federation communities for this moving concert that commemorates the resilience of the human spirit and honors the legacy of those who perished in the Holocaust on Sunday, January 12, at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. 

A pre-concert talk and a display of the Violins of Hope will precede the concert at 1:30 p.m.
