ROSEVILLE, CA – The Chabad House of Placer County is honored to announce a special one-night concert on February 28 featuring the world-famous Violin of Hope, which restored violins that were played by Jewish musicians during the Holocaust.
A violin will be played Folsom Lake Symphony Concert director Anita Felix, whose grandfather was a famous conductor who himself fled Nazi Germany. Three more violins will be shown.
In addition to music, the event will include stories about violins played by Jewish musicians during the Holocaust.
We hope this life-changing educational concert will reach the hearts of students and adults. The event will emphasize messages of hope, tolerance and resilience through music, bringing violin stories to life again.
