Violins of Hope Journey to CLE

Description

Prior to the concert by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, author James A. Grymes (Violins of Hope) will be in conversation with Martin Goldsmith, well-known classical music radio host on NPR and Sirius XM, and author of The Inextinguishable Symphony and Alex’s Wake: A Voyage of Betrayal and a Journey of Remembrance. Grymes is also the curator of the "Violins of Hope Cleveland" exhibition currently at the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage. Goldsmith is the son of Rosemary Goldsmith, a violist featured in the Maltz exhibition and a member of The Cleveland Orchestra, 1967-1981. Together, they will discuss parallel journeys that Jewish musicians made from Nazi Germany to join the ranks of orchestras in the United States and around the world.
