Violins of Hope : a message of hope and peace

Concerts

Strong emotions, goose bumps, deep respect and admiration are common reactions of both the audience and the artists at the concerts. Violins of Hope have travelled to Paris, Jerusalem, Sion, Madrid and Maastricht to give voice to the lost generation. Watch some of the latest events and experience the emotion.

Exhibition of Violins of Hope

Violins of Hope travel around the world to be shown in museums, theatres, halls and other venues. People get a chance to view the instruments close up, often accompanied by a photo exhibition of Lucille Reyboz, who undertook a special and impressive photo shoot of the violins. See some of Violins of Hope photos.

Film - When music meets history

"Amnon’s Journey" is a documentary film about Amnon Weinstein’s search for the lost violins. In an effort to document this story, an emotional visit to the barracks of Auschwitz took place in 2008. Shlomo Mintz played in the exact spot where a Jewish orchestra performed in the wind and snow, accompanying prisoners with music on their march of survival or death.

Lectures around the Violins of Hope

Special educational lectures are organized to meet students, musicians and the audience to bear witness to the violins’ stories. The background of each instrument is explained and its sound can be heard: an unforgettable, intense and emotional experience.
