This inspiring photographic exhibition chronicles the work of Ammon Weinstein, the master violin maker and restorer responsible for the discovery and repair of the violins making up Violins of Hope
Violins of Hope is a project of concerts based on a private collection of Violins, violas and cellos all collected since the end of World War II (1939-1945). Many of the instruments belonged to Jews lost in the Nazi concentration camps and donated by or bought from survivors.
Noted photographer Daniel Levin visited Weinstein’s Tel Aviv based workshop to photograph the restorations in progress, is the only photographer to capture his masterful techniques to save them from being erased from history. The extraordinary stories behind the violins are included in audio-form by scanning QR codes that accompany each image.
