Violins of Hope education engagements will be held in the months leading up to the collection arrival in early June 2025. As part of these engagements, the Philharmonic Society will be visiting schools and community centers with violinist Niv Ashkenazi, the only musician to have one of the Violins of Hope in their possession. These engagements will discuss the stories of the violins and their involvement with the Holocaust and the survivors.
