We are wishing all who celebrate the Jewish High Holidays a very happy and sweet new year. The extraordinary tales of INTONATIONS and the Violins of Hope offer us an opportunity to reflect on history, the human capacity for resilience, and the power of music. Despite the struggles, we are left with a sense of hope. The panel discussion is a great precursor and the performances are remarkable. Watch on our website or find us on YouTube! 🎻🎵

Reposted from composer Scott Ordway: “The End of Rain” is a project blending music and landscape photography with crowdsourced text to explore impact of fire and drought on California communities. As I continue to work on the project, I’ll be sharing excerpts from the crowdsourced texts with some of the photographs I’ve taken in the regions those texts describe. The piece will premiere in July 2022 with Roomful of Teeth and the #CabrilloFestivalOrchestra in Santa Cruz, CA.
Learn about the heartrending story of 14-year-old 'Motele' told in the 4th movement of Intonations: "Motele Schlein was a child prodigy with a promising career when he and his family were imprisoned. After his family was murdered, he was randomly selected to entertain at the Nazi Officers Club. At 12 years old, he devised a plan to avenge his family. Week by week, he smuggled gunpowder in his violin case to create a bomb in the basement of the Officers Club. He set it on fire and ran to the woods to watch the explosion and witness the destruction. Through it all, he was never really alone. He always had his violin and music." -Program note by Jake Heggie & Gene Scheer![]()
