SUMMARY:Exhibition: In the Artists’ Studio: The Violin Workshop of Amnon and Avshalom Weinstein
DESCRIPTION:NEW MUSEUM HOURS: \nWednesday 1-5pm \nThursday–Sunday 11am–5pm \nAs one of the Violins of Hope Bay Area partners\, New Museum Los Gatos will present an exhibition titled: In the Artist’s Studio: The Violin Workshop of Amnon and Avshalom Weinstein. The exhibition will open on January 24- and continue through April 26\, 2020. \nIn the Artist’s Studio supports the museum’s mission to share stories in new ways. Through this program\, NUMU offers insight into studio practice and shares with the community the ingenuity\, intelligence and empathy that go into the creative process. This installment will recreate and focus on the Weinstein’s workshop in Tel Aviv where the violins have been restored. We will share the story of the Weinstein family and the inspiration behind the project\, and highlight one of the 70 historic instruments in the collection. \nThe exhibition will also explore how music and the arts inspire and elevate individuals and communities to resist\, speak truth to power and survive. These stories will discuss the role of music as a catalyst for social justice and change and as an anthem for hope and power\, with a Bay Area focus. Lastly\, the exhibition will touch on identity and personal iconography with an interactive element that will allow participants to make a violin using symbols\, words and decorations specific to them. \nExhibition programming will include a rare performance on instruments from the Violins of Hope collection by Hannah Tarley on January 28\, 2020 at NUMU. The performance will be supplemented by a presentation of instruments and a talk by Avshalom Weinstein. This event is co-sponsored by Congregation Shir Hadash in Los Gatos. \nThis exhibition is made possible by The Borgenicht Foundation. The Borgenicht Foundation works to promote the understanding of secularism as the way and hope for establishing peace in the world. In addition\, the Foundation supports social justice\, conservation and historic preservation\, the arts\, health\, and education. \n$6-10; Free to members \nMore Info

SUMMARY:Violins of Hope Music Lecture with violinist Cookie Segelstein at JCC San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:Violins of Hope\, a collection of violins rescued from the Holocaust\, don’t just tell a story of tragedy\, survival and perseverance; they were important tools of cultural life in the Pale of Settlement\, where Jews lived and worked before World War II. In this lecture and demo\, Cookie Segelstein will discuss the use of instrumental music in Jewish life before the Shoah. Using sound recordings dating back to the early twentieth century and earlier\, she will talk about the event that brought communities together\, the Jewish wedding\, and the roll of the klezmorim\, the musicians who facilitated the many rituals important in merging families and communities. Hear old melodies used for making the bride cry\, escorting guests to the wedding canopy\, accompanying a special dance for the mothers-in-law\, among other examples\, all played on one of the rescued violins. A child of survivors\, Segelstein’s insight into these rituals come from not only her research and that of her colleagues in Veretski Pass\, but from her own family traditions. \nThis program is part of Violins of Hope San Francisco Bay Area presented in association with Music at Kohl Mansion\, Burlingame\, CA.  \n \n \nPresenter bio:\nCookie Segelstein\, who plays violin and viola\, received her Masters degree in Viola from the Yale School of Music in 1984. Until her move to the west coast in 2010\, she was principal violist in Orchestra New England and assistant principal in The New Haven Symphony Orchestra. She is the founder and director of the trio Veretski Pass. Cookie has presented lecture demonstrations and workshops on klezmer fiddling all over the world. She was featured on the ABC documentary A Sacred Noise\, and has been heard on HBO’s Sex and the City and on several recordings including the Veretski Pass self-titled release Trafik and the newly-released The Klezmer Shul. She is active as a Holocaust educator and curriculum advisor and has been a frequent lecturer at the Women’s Correctional Facility in Niantic\, Connecticut. Cookie lives in Berkeley with Joshua Horowitz\, a dog\, and her occasionally visiting two adult children.\n \nEnroll

Amnon Weinstein began collecting and restoring the violins more than 20 years ago\, and the collection is dedicated to the 400 family members he lost in World War II. Since then\, the instruments have been played by prominent musicians in venues worldwide\, giving voice not only to the owners of the violins\, but also to the millions of Jewish people who perished.  \nThe Violins of Hope exhibition will offer a unique educational opportunity through the Violins of Hope APP which will provide supplemental material and allow the visitor to engage in an intimate musical experience. Expanding on educational materials developed by Facing History & Ourselves whose mission is to help students learn about hatred and bigotry so they can stop them from happening in the future\, the exhibition will offer tours and programs for all grades\, faith-based organizations\, congregations and social justice agencies. \nThe Veterans Gallery is located in the Veterans Building at 401 Van Ness Ave. Suite 102.  \nClick to watch NBC Bay Area’s story on the exhibition\, January 22\, 2020 \nFor information regarding school visits and docent tours for your group\, please contact: Lisa Coscino lisa.v.coscino@gmail.com \n_____________________________________ \nCurator: Lisa Coscino  \n Exhibition Development and Research Assistance: Cindy Morton\nExhibition Development and Design: Sound\, Interactive and App: Sara Roberts \nThe Curatorial Team would like to thank the following for their invaluable research assistance and guidance: The Farkas Center for the Study of the Holocaust in Catholic Schools; JFCS Holocaust Center of San Francisco; UCSF School of Museum Management and James Grymes and the Weinstein Family. \nAdditional research assistance has been provided by: Peninsula JCC\, California History Center\, Facing History and Ourselves and Violins of Hope Nashville. \nMany thanks to our APP creator\, Jim Asnis and to our exhibit designer\, Julie Ho Sung \nSpecial thanks to the American Legion War Memorial Commission for hosting the Violins of Hope Exhibit in the Veterans Gallery in the SF Veterans Building\, and to Paul Cox and Janice Tong.
