The ex-Russian violinist attached a yellow ribbon to his Strad when playing with the Israel Philharmonic. The 100+ hostages in Gaza are on everyone’s mind.

Our special correspondent Dan Yakir adds: Last week Maxim Vengerov came to Israel for two special concerts with the Israel Philharmonic. Vengerov attached the yellow ribbon to his violin in a call to release the Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. After an exhilarating performance of Sibelius violin concerto with music director Lahav Shani he played as an encore the main theme from “Schindler’s List” by John Williams.
