Through movement, original works explore the moment when silence becomes complicity, and speaking out carries risk. Each piece reveals the unseen toll of oppression, the truths we bury to feel safe, and the haunting echoes of ignorance. In collaboration with Wisconsin Intergenerational Orchestra and Gute Freynt Klezmer Band, DPMKE incorporates dancers from our professional and intergenerational companies to honor the resilience of Holocaust-era musicians, drawing historical context into contemporary performance.
As part of Echoes of Hope, we are deeply honored to feature violins from Violins of Hope — a remarkable collection of instruments once owned and played by victims of the Holocaust.![]()

These historic violins will be played live onstage November 22–23, 2025, as part of the Violins of Hope—Wisconsin residency presented by the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra.![]()
