JCC Chicago Presents The Growing Hope Concert

JCC Chicago, in partnership with the Chicago Cubs, presents the "Growing Hope" concert at Gallagher Way outside of Wrigley Field in Chicago on Tuesday, August 8, 2023, at 7:30 p.m. In response to growing antisemitism and hate crimes, which have more than doubled in Chicago over the past year, "Growing Hope" is an expansion of the current six-month, state-wide residency of Violins of Hope, instruments once played by Holocaust victims and survivors, some in concentration camp orchestras. The dream of JCC Chicago President and CEO, Addie Goodman is that the stories and sounds of these historic instruments be juxtaposed against today's most popular pop, hip-hop, jazz, and country music, representing a moving fusion of sounds and demonstrating the beauty, power, and unity that is found in our differences. That dream is coming true with the help of the Chicago Cubs and Gallagher Way. The "Growing Hope" concert aspires to create core memories for 3,000 youth by engaging them through unforgettable sounds and stories. The visceral demonstration of difference combined with the fusion of sounds and styles will serve as a powerful example of unity and hope. "Our young people are far removed from the Holocaust. Our survivor numbers are growing smaller. While the State of Illinois was the first to mandate Holocaust education, only 21 states have followed and both criteria and curricula remain weak. Holocaust education today is in many cases reduced to a few pages in a textbook, a few questions on the final exam," said Addie Goodman. "Violins of Hope provides a new avenue for Holocaust education, particularly for students, bringing the human story of the Holocaust to the forefront. Learning about the people who played in concentration camps, about why they played, and what happened to them and their music, which in many cases saved their lives. We are choosing to look through the beautiful lens of humanity, ensuring that today's young people really understand how important it is to be kind and good to others." Goodman said.
