Episode 83 Janet Horvath

Janet Horvath, cellist, author and lecturer

Janet is a retired associate principal cellist with the Minnesota Orchestra, and a world-wide recitalist. Her recently-relerased book, The Cello Still Sings tells of being a daughter of Holocaust survivors who kept the horror to themselves for most the their children’s lives. It was only in her father’s last year did Janet learn the details of what her parents endured.

Listen to her narrative, and stay with us as we play a recording of Janet’s Kol Nidre, played in Landsberg, Germany, 70 years to the day where her father performed it in a displaced persons camp.
