SUMMARY:The City Without Jews Cine-Concert at the JCC San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:Alicia Svigals\n(Photo: Thierry Arsenault)\nSilent film with live original music by klezmer fiddler Alicia Svigals and pianist Donald Sosin.\nThe City Without Jews is one of few surviving Austrian Expressionist films\, and the magnum opus of the great director H.K. Breslauer. Filmed in 1924\, it can be seen as a chilling premonition of the Holocaust—the premise is the political rise of the Christian Social Party\, which orders all Jews to evacuate Austria. In the ensuing months\, the sober reality of a society without Jews sets in\, as cultural institutions close and cafes are replaced with beer halls. Eventually\, the economy declines and unemployment runs rampant. Based on the dystopian book by Hugo Bettauer and intended originally as political satire\, it became the subject of controversy and censorship\, especially in conjunction with the rise of Nazism. Featuring an original live score by violinist Alicia Svigals and pianist Donald Sosin\, including a performance by Svigals on one of the instruments from the Violins of Hope collection. \nThe silent film is 91 minutes with English intertitles. \nFollowing the screening\, in the Atrium\, violin-maker and restorer of the Violins of Hope Avshalom Weinstein will be available to answer questions\, and will have three instruments from the collection on display.   \nGeneral Admission  $20\nMembers get 10% off \nTickets

DESCRIPTION:Along the Trade Route concert with violinists Cookie Segelstein (Klezmer)\, Emmanuel During (Turkish)\, Hemmige V. Srivatsan (South Indian) and Darcy Noonan (Celtic) \nMusicians have been sharing melodies for centuries\, with no regard to political and national boundaries.

In Trade Routes\, we present these internationally renowned Bay Area musicians steeped in seemingly separate cultural musical traditions with an exciting and surprising common vision of musical sharing. Each violinist will be performing on a violin once owned and played by a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp\, now repaired and repurposed as an instrument of peace\, social justice and hope. \nBUY TICKETSIf you need help registering for this event\, contact: violinsofhope@musicatkohl.org

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Violins of Hope\, A Journey of Heroism\, Healing\, and Humanity
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Hawkins\, RR\, 2009 will be included in the exhibit A Journey of Healing\, Hope and Humanity\nIn RR\, 2009 an 8-foot segment of railroad track – including gravel\, railroad ties\, and steel rails – is set between two vertical panes of two-way mirrored plexiglas.\nRR is the embodiment of paradoxical emotions\, narratives\, and ways of perceiving the world — and this contradiction opens a space where we can reflect on how we got here\, where we’re headed\, and what illusions and promises we may be riding at this very moment. \nLos Angeles based artist Daniel Hawkins frequently combines the deliberate undertaking of Sisyphean tasks with explorations of the aesthetics of plausible deniability.\nExhibition:\nViolins of Hope\, A Journey of Heroism\, Healing and Humanity \nNOW – MARCH 13th \nTUESDAYS – SATURDAYS\, 1-5pm \nAn exhibition featuring the Violins of Hope will be open (and free) to the public at the Veterans Gallery at the Veterans Building in San Francisco.
