The Violin Maker, written by Lisa Pearl Rosenbaum and Ronda Spinak, features the remarkable story of Israeli violin maker Amnon Weinstein, who dedicated his life to restoring violins damaged during the Holocaust. This American premiere intertwines Weinstein's narrative with true stories behind his collection, known as the "Violins of Hope." The play offers a powerful and uplifting exploration of resilience and the healing power of music.
