THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA EDUCATION CONCERTS 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. 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 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 Holocaust Curriculum which will be used by many middle and high schools throughout the region (check with your school).

December 1-4, 2015 VIOLINS OF HOPE The Cleveland Orchestra Brett Mitchell, conductor In Collaboration with the Case Western Reserve University/ Cleveland Play House MFA Program in Acting* FINZI Prelude PROKOFIEV Overture on Hebrew Themes SHOSTAKOVICH II. Allegro molto from Chamber (arr. Barshai) Symphony, Opus 110a WILLIAMS BLOCH BRUCH ROSSINI Theme from Schindler s List Simchas Torah ( Rejoicing ) from Baal Shem Kol Nidrei Overture from La scala di seta 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. The Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov *Case Western Reserve University and The Cleveland Play House joined forces in 1996 to create a new Master of Fine Arts program in acting. CWRU students begin their involvement with the Play House in their first semester, and their level of involvement steadily increases until, in the third year, they become professional interns at the Cleveland Play House.
