Violins that survived the Holocaust and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima come together in performance for the first time, featuring violin virtuosos Niv Ashkenazi and Mio Imai. Created in partnership with cellist and producer Udi Bar-David, this powerful multimedia program leads audiences on a journey through film, spoken word, and live performance. Strings of Hope unites these instruments in a historic event that shares the stories of the artists who once played on them, carrying forward their courage, resilience, and hope.
