What's Booming: Violins with Hope and Sundays with Soul
A well-fed soul coming your way
Violins of Hope Exhibit
Through Oct. 24 at the Virginia Holocaust Museum, the Virginia Museum of History and Culture, and the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia
From a heartbreaking story to an inspiring exhibit: Violins of Hope features a display of violins that survived the Holocaust – carefully pieced back together and brought back to life for viewing and even playing. While the musicians may have been silenced, their voices, stories, and melodies are not. The exhibit will be on display for three months in three different locations – stay tuned for information on concerts, lectures, and educational programs surrounding these instruments and their stories.
