At the Garden, in the intimate McGinley Pavilion on the water’s edge, Highland Park violinist Allison Zabelin’s program will include pieces with a theme of peace, hope, happiness, or love, including klezmer music and Israeli songs.
“Through hands-on experiences of performance, learning about their unique stories, and thinking into the future with the powerful knowledge of the ability of the human spirit to overcome hate and evil, we aspire to make a difference for all who experience this amazing project,” said Ilene Uhlmann, JCC Chicago’s director of community engagement and Violins of Hope.
