Melva and Martin Bucksbaum Auditorium, Caspe Terrace

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear the vivid, moving, true story of how Janet Horvath discovered the history of her parents’ experiences during the Holocaust. An innocent question about music leads to the revelation that Janet’s father played 200 morale-building concerts in the displaced persons camps of Bavaria after World War II, two of which were with Maestro Leonard Bernstein. It is the clue that leads to unraveling the past.

Janet Horvath is a lifelong performing classical musician and served as the associate principal cello of the Minnesota Orchestra from 1980-2012. Janet is also an anti-racism spokesperson and advocate for injury prevention for musicians. Her performances span recitals, chamber music, and soloist roles with orchestras across the US, Canada, and Europe. She has shared her expertise through masterclasses and seminars for orchestras and conservatories from coast to coast.  You can find more information about this event at Meet the Author – Beaverdale Books
