Join us for a special presentation of Sunday Afternoon Live as we partner with Violins of Hope-Wisconsin for a performance that draws inspiration from a collection of resilient instruments that were owned and played during the Holocaust. UW–Madison School of Music graduate students and recent alums will play these restored instruments in a concert that pays tribute to their former owners, Jewish musicians during the Holocaust, and underscores themes of courage and survival.
Following the concert, attendees will have the opportunity to view Violins of Hope instruments with Chazen museumguides in the museum’s Chen Family Study Room.
A related talk by professor emerita Teryl Dobbs on “Experiencing Music in the Holocaust” will take place on Saturday, November 8 at 5 p.m. More details can be found here.
This performance is presented in partnership with Violins of Hope – Wisconsin, Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra (MYSO) and supported by the Office of the Chancellor.
