Violins of Hope is a concert project featuring a private collection of violins, violas and cellos, housed in Israel. All of the instruments were owned by Jewish people during the Holocaust, and were collected following World War II. The PSO’s Violins of Hope Maine will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the resistance of the Terezín prisoners. PSO string players will perform on these special instruments, a 60 piece collection, during Verdi’s Requiem concert.

This concert will be filmed for release on Portland Symphony TV.
