This will be the first appearance on Long Island of the world famous instruments originally played by victims of the Nazi Concentration Camps, finally gathered together and restored for inspired music making once again.

Members of CPI's chamber orchestra will offer this concert highlighting the Violins of Hope (https://www.violins-of-hope.com/). They'll play these violins that survived the Holocaust, now restored in Israel by father-son violin makers, Amnon and Avshi Weinstein. Performers will include violinists Asi Matathias, Tosca Opdam and violin restorer Avshi Weinstein.

The program will be Bach's Concerto for Two Violins in d minor; Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, 1st Mvt; Beethoven's Violin Concerto, 2^nd Mvt and other works, plus commentary by violin restorer Weinstein.
