Ronda Spinak and I were honored to tap into Noreen's vast knowledge of Jewish music to create "Stories from the Violins of Hope" and it's later iteration, "The Violin Maker," about the Israeli luthier who restored violins that survived the Holocaust. Performing in these productions with her Los Angeles Jewish Symphony players for both the filmed "Stories from the Violins of Hope" and for staged productions in Sydney, Australia and Long Beach California, her passion for music and for celebrating Jewish contributions to it are inspiring.
