Violins of Hope Exhibition

In tandem with its 11th Quadrennial Competition, the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis (IVCI) will present an exhibition in four components focusing on Violins of Hope, a collection of 70 violins, violas and cellos compiled since the end of World War II. Each instrument was a symbol of hope during the Holocaust, belonging to Jews before and during the war. Father and son violin makers Amnon and Avshalom Weinstein collected the instruments from survivors and lovingly restored them for exhibitions and concerts throughout the world.

The Title Sponsor is the Herbert Simon Family Foundation, with Associate Sponsors Alice and Robert Schloss, The Carter Family Fund, and Additional Major Funding provided by the Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation.
