The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation keeps music alive in our schools by donating musical instruments to under-funded music programs. Generous individual donors provide their beloved instruments when the time seems right. We were touched by Rina Stone’s story:
“The violin belongs to my 92 year old mother, a holocaust survivor. She played in a youth symphony in Germany before WWII until she was expelled for being Jewish. Although this is not the original violin she played in her youth, it was purchased about 40 years ago when she decided to start playing again and joined a neighborhood orchestra.”
The violin recently found a new home at Santa Ana High School in Santa Ana, CA, only an hour from where she lives! Click here to read more about this story and about Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation.
