Lyngblomsten Presents: Violins of Hope (Lino Lakes)

Violins of Hope represent the victory of the human spirit over evil and hatred. The Nazis used music, especially violins, to humiliate and degrade Jews in ghettos and camps. They confiscated many thousands of instruments from Jews all over Europe. This concert will feature instruments from a private collection that were donated or bought from survivors of World War 2. Join us to hear the music they produce, see them up close and hear about the lives of the people who played them.

Dr. Jordan Warmath will perform and present this program. She received her DMA in viola performance from the University of CA Santa Barbara and moved to Minneapolis from Los Angeles where she played in studio for soundtracks to Obi-Wan, Star Trek, the Lego Movie 2, and more. She has performed regularly with several different orchestras and opera companies. She currently teaches at MacPhail and at Concordia University St. Paul.

Free; no registration required. Contact Nicole Buchholz, Director of Lifelong Learning & the Arts, with any questions at 651.632.5459 or nbuchholz@lyngblomsten.org.
