2015’s Violins of Hope Concert Is Reprised at Maltz Performing Arts Center

Violins

Wed 3/8 @ noon

In late 2015, the Violins of Hope exhibit was on display at the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage, featuring instruments that were rescued from the Holocaust and restored. Numerous community groups came together to present programming around the exhibit, including a series of education concerts performed at Severance Hall by the Cleveland Orchestra for students. It focused on the role music played in Jewish life and culture before, during and after the Holocaust.

Now many more students will have the chance to enjoy encore presentations of the concert at the Maltz Performing Arts Center at University Circle March 8-10. The performances, conducted by the Cleveland Orchestra’s Associate Conductor Brett Mitchell and featuring Cleveland Orchestra First Associate Concertmaster Peter Otto and Assistant Principal Cellist Charles Bernard, will include Ernest Bloch’s Simchas Torah [Rejoicing] from Baal Shem; Max Bruch’s Kol Nidrei; Sergei Prokofiev’s Overture on Hebrew Themes, Opus 34; John Williams’s Three Pieces from Schindler’s List for Violin and Orchestra, along with music by Gerald Finzi, Dmitri Shostakovich and Gioachino Rossini.

One of the performances on Wed 3/8 will be open to the public. Tickets are $15 and are available at maltzcenter/ or the Maltz Performing Arts Center box office at 216-368-6062.
