SUMMARY:A Violin Returned: Eva Neubeck in Conversation with Ari King
DESCRIPTION:More than a century ago\, a German concertmaster and music school director named Siegmund Hess left behind a list of belongings—among them\, two violins that would later vanish in the shadow of Nazi persecution. For decades\, they were seemingly lost to time\, until one of those instruments made its way home. \nJoin Eva Neubeck\, Hess’s great-granddaughter\, for an intimate afternoon of story\, memory\, and music as she shares the extraordinary journey of rediscovering and recovering her family’s violin—an heirloom displaced during the Holocaust era and returned generations later through a trail of documents\, chance connections\, and persistent hope. \nMs. Neubeck will be joined by Ari King\, and together they’ll explore what it means to search for what was lost\, to follow fragments of evidence across time and distance\, and to listen for the human story held inside an object—one that asks what survives: the artifacts that carry history\, the families who keep searching\, and the way a single instrument can hold the weight of loss and the possibility of return. \nMs. Neubeck will share the recovered violin during the program\, and it will be played by violinist Raycurt Lemuel\, a musician with Brass Solidarity.

SUMMARY:Violins of Hope: Strings of the Holocaust Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Narrated by Academy Award-winning actor Adrien Brody\, Violins of Hope – Strings of the Holocaust follows Israeli master violinmaker Amnon Weinstein as he restores violins carried by starving Jewish refugees on death marches\, played under coercion in concentration camps\, and held close in ghettos and work camps—each instrument bearing witness to suffering\, courage\, and resilience. The film interweaves these histories with Weinstein’s mission to collect\, repair\, and return the violins to the world’s stages through performances by renowned musicians and orchestras\, an act of love and defiance against those who tried to silence both the music and a people. \nPost-film conversation featuring Janet Horvath. Ms. Horvath was the associate principal cello of the Minnesota Orchestra from 1980-2012. Her new book\, The Cello Still Sings – A Generational Story of the Holocaust and of the Transformative Power of Music\, will be available for purchase and signing. \nView Trailer Here

After serving in many roles at TTSP\, she served as the Director of Hineni from its inception in 2014 to 2022. She believes passionately in the importance of Jewish learning and the impact it can have on people’s lives.
