By Steven Litt, The Plain Dealer

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The city's newest performing arts center is exactly one month away from its debut.

A 3 p.m. "Violins of Hope" concert on Sunday, Sept. 27, will kick off The Temple-Tifereth Israel's new life as Case Western Reserve University's Milton and Tamar Maltz Performing Arts Center.

The sold-out performance will launch the new life of a masterpiece of early 20th-century religious architecture that has been renovated to serve as the home of CWRU's programs in music, dance and theater.
