Violins of Hope Project Features Instruments, Music, Memories of the Holocaust

The Nashville Symphony has commenced its months-long program entitled “Violins of Hope” that, in addition to focusing on beautiful music and instruments, aims to open cultural discussion throughout Middle Tennessee communities.

The program gets its name from a collection of violins that were played by musicians during the Holocaust. These instruments miraculously survived that tragedy and have been restored to excellent condition.

“Each of these instruments has a remarkable story to tell about resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable difficulty,” says Alan D. Valentine, Nashville Symphony president and CEO. “This singular collection will serve as a springboard for many of Nashville’s cultural organizations to explore the vital role that music, the arts and creativity play in all of our lives. We are thrilled to be working with so many enthusiastic partners on this historic initiative.”

The instruments are now on display at the Nashville Public Library through May 27 (aside from a brief gap from April 10–14). That exhibit is free and open to the public.

Additionally, the Violins of Hope project will also tie into numerous other speeches, film screenings, concerts and art installations in April and May.

The Nashville Symphony and its partners have high hopes for the project and believe that it will give younger generations a better understanding of the Holocaust.

“The Jewish Federation of Nashville is honored to partner with the Nashville Symphony in bringing the Violins of Hope to Nashville,” says Mark S. Freedman, Executive Director of the Jewish Federation and Jewish Foundation of Nashville and Middle Tennessee. “For our Jewish community, this represents a profoundly important opportunity to let these sacred instruments provide a measure of redemption to the millions of Holocaust victims who perished simply because they were Jews. These violins should serve as a clarion call throughout our city that the words ‘never again’ must resonate through every one of us in our collective struggle to overcome bigotry and hatred.”
