The Musician and the Scientist: A Love Story in Troubled Times
A virtual event exploring the story of Agi Jambor and and her husband, Imre Patai - two extraordinary Hungarians who not only survived the Holocaust, but left us gripping testimonies of their experiences and of their time.
Nick Viner hosts Frances Pinter who edited her great-aunt Agi’s memoir, and Mika Provata-Carlone who wrote the introduction as well as Hungarian scholar Istvan Pal Adams, who read all 28 volumes of Imre’s diaries (now residing in the Washington DC Holocaust Museum Archives) along with pianist Sarah Cahill.
“It doesn’t matter whether I take the music to somebody’s home or I play in a concert hall. It’s all the same until the point when the composer pummels my head because I am playing poorly. I love playing.” – Ági Jámbor
