Violin Coverage

A piano and a violin - separated by the horrors of Nazi Germany - are once again reunited. A bittersweet tale lies at the heart of how these instruments went from tragedy to harmony.

A performance hundreds of years in the making bring cherished piano, violin together

Piano and violin reunite for meaningful concert

During a home concert, Tony Marcos's mother heard the piano and violin together for the first time since she was a child.

<p>together again. Keys and strings, Majesty and Melancholy. When the music plays the Villain Lynskey. Sisterhood is back. Greta on a 1905 piano. Natasha on a 1792 violin. It is the 1930s Munich, Germany. These sisters, from a Jewish family dazzle concert halls with their duets. But the Nazis are in power. The music dies. My grandmother and my great aunt were a piano violin duo. The grandmother and great aunt of Tony Marcos would never play together again For Natasha. She escaped Germany in 1935, she went to Italy, then France, where she gave her brother her cherished violin. She was either arrested or turned herself in. Um, in a roundup of the Jews in August 1942, this violin virtuoso was in a concentration camp, Auschwitz never to be heard from again. Yeah, for Greta. My grandmother gave them everything they had left behind in the apartment, everything to get her piano from Munich to Jerusalem, the city where she sought refuge. She and her husband eventually emigrated to New York City, and they were able to bring the piano with him this time, and Tony Marcos's mother, who emigrated two years earlier, was able to bring the violin. It sat forgotten in a closet for decades Until he restored it in 1991. When I got that violin restored, I said I need some closure. I need that piano back. Alas, the piano had been sold in 1986, and the owner had no intention to give it up. Not until 2015. Tony Marcos, of course, bought it. Okay, now I've got closure. I've got both instruments, but we need to do one more thing. One more thing. A concert in his home for his mother, Ruth, marking her 90th birthday. She needs to hear those instruments played together before she dies. Keys and strings, Beauty and grace together again. Brian Mims, WRL News, Raleigh.</p>
