Hear a storied piano and violin from Nazi-era Germany brought to life at the North Carolina Museum of Art. The instruments, a 1792 Zwerger violin and 1905 Blüthner piano, belonged to Natascha and Grete Wilczynski, Jewish sisters who were promising musicians in Munich in the early 1900s. With the rise of Nazi rule, the sisters—and their instruments—were separated by tragedy. Nearly a century later, Grete’s grandson unearthed his family’s story and reunited the piano and violin. On Holocaust Remembrance Day, they will be played together with reverence and pride by Jacqueline Saed Wolborsky, principal violinist at the North Carolina Symphony, and Mimi Solomon, a chamber pianist and UNC–Chapel Hill School of Music lecturer.

This program is co-sponsored by Walter magazine.
