Join Festival City Symphony as we partner with Violins of Hope – Wisconsin to present “Hope, Resilience, and Copland’s American Symphony.” Hear the voices of the past through restored instruments once played by Jewish musicians during the Holocaust – symbols of resilience, courage, and survival. The concert will include powerful performances of David Diamond’s Kaddish featuring FCS Principal Cellist Stefan Kartman, Tomaso Albinoni’s Adagio, Sergei Prokofiev’s Overture on Hebrew Themes, and Aaron Copland’s monumental Third Symphony.

The concert begins at 2:00pm at the Bradley Symphony Center and will be preceded by an on-stage discussion with the Holocaust Education Resource Center beginning at 1:30pm. Tickets for this powerful event are free with suggested donation.

Festival City Symphony is proud to partner with Violins of Hope – Wisconsin, presented by Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra (MYSO) in this tribute to the strength of the human spirit and the unifying power of music.
