Janet Horvath is a lifelong performing classical musician, soloist, speaker, writer, and anti-racism spokesperson. The associate principal cello of the Minnesota Orchestra from 1980-2012, Horvath has performed in recital and chamber music throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe, on CBC, BBC, and NPR radio stations, and on PBS television. Her book, THE CELLO STILL SINGS, A Generational Story of the Holocaust and of the Transformative Power of Music, was named one of the 100 best Independently published books of 2023 by Kirkus Reviews.
Horvath visits Íæż½ã½ã to discuss her book with the community as part of the Goodman Lecture series. For Horvath, this is a milestone lecture. Not only will it be her 75th presentation discussing The Cello Still Sings, but it’s also her return to Íæż½ã½ã’s, where The O’Shaughnessy has served as a Minnesota Orchestra performance venue over the decades. As a woman who succeeded in the difficult field of professional orchestral musicianship and solo performance, she’s excited to reach other women at the University, she says.
ABOUT THE GOODMAN LECTURE
Founded by Arthur and Constance Goodman in 1979, the Goodman Lecture promotes interfaith dialogue between Jewish and Christian communities. Íæż½ã½ã is extremely grateful for the Goodmans’ generosity and the continued support of their daughters Mary Ann Goodman Reilly ’61 and Stephanie Goodman ’83, both Íæż½ã½ã’s graduates.
