Join us for a special Evensong service featuring and honoring Violins of Hope, a collection of more than 50 string instruments once played by Jews in concentration camps during the Holocaust. Lovingly restored by Israeli violin-makers Amnon and Avshalom Weinstein, the Violins are now touring worldwide. Tonight’s service is part of Violins of Hope—San Francisco Bay Area, an immersive eight-week celebration of the remarkable resilience of the human spirit. Through a series of concerts, exhibitions, films, lectures, community conversations and educational programs collaboratively presented by more than forty diverse Bay Area organizations in eight counties, Violins of Hope SFBA will showcase this first West Coast appearance of the Violins of Hope and commemorates the 75th Anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
