This fully-staged play dives deeper into the original theatrical presentation of Stories from the Violins of Hope. With more stories, scenes, and additional music,  the play, interwoven with music, tells the stories of a collection of extraordinary violins as it follows the the arc of an  Israeli violin maker's life - from a proud Israeli boy who wanted nothing to do with the Holocaust and his family's pain ,  to a man who devotes his life to repairing  "stringed survivors" whose voices are now heard in concerts around the world - restoring  the dignity of their owners for generations to come.   

Stories from the Violins of Hope is based on my conversations with  the remarkable Israeli violin maker Amnon Weinstein, and the Weinstein family, to whom I am deeply grateful.

Every violin has a story to tell , and reminds us of the beauty human beings are capable of creating.
