SUMMARY:Along the Trade Route Concert at Beth AM Sanctuary
DESCRIPTION:Along the Trade Route concert with violinists Cookie Segelstein (Klezmer)\, Emmanuel During (Turkish)\, Hemmige V. Srivatsan (South Indian) and Suzy Thompson (Americana). \nMusicians have been sharing melodies for centuries\, with no regard to political and national boundaries. Irish sailors brought melodies to sea ports in Ukraine; Turks\, Roma and Jews shared common songs\, and Roma music has origins in India. 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. \nPresented by Congregation Kol Emeth in association with Congregation Beth Am and Congregation Etz Chayim. \nBUY TICKETS

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. The violins share the stories of Jewish resistance fighters and tales of loss and reunification following the war. \nThe exhibition will showcase a selection of approximately 20 violins from the collection of over 70 that were played by Jewish musicians during the Holocaust. 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.

SUMMARY:Along the Trade Route Concert at the Napa Center for Thought and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Napa Center for Thought & Culture (nctcnapa.org) presents one performance only of “Along the Trade Route.” \nMusicians have been sharing melodies for centuries without regard to political and national boundaries. Irish sailors brought melodies to sea ports in Ukraine. Turks\, Roma and Jews shared common songs. Roma music has its origins in India. \nInternationally renowned Bay Area musicians\, steeped in seemingly separate cultural musical traditions\, come together to share an exciting and surprising common vision of musical sharing. \nEach violinist will be performing on a violin once owned and played by a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp. These violins are now repaired and repurposed as instruments of peace\, social justice and hope. \nMusicians include: Cookie Segelstein (Klezmer); Emmanuel During (Turkish); Hemmige V. Srivatsan (South Indian); and Darcy Noonan (Celtic). \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. The violins share the stories of Jewish resistance fighters and tales of loss and reunification following the war. \nThe exhibition will showcase a selection of approximately 20 violins from the collection of over 70 that were played by Jewish musicians during the Holocaust. 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.

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.
