Description

Broken Instruments was inspired by the book Violins of Hope by James A Grymes. It is a story of survival made possible through the power of music and featuring original songs and storytelling. Although told through the writings of an imagined character, the events to which he relates actually happened. 'The live performance on Roma Sinti Holocaust Memorial Day, superseded expectations. The hauntingly beautiful songs and music echoed emotively around the Pears Memorial Hall, captivating the audience and staff alike. The performance was a myriad of emotion...' (Jill Robinson, Partnership Manager, The National Holocaust Centre and Museum).
