THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
important musical event.
Despite these early obsta-
cles, Horowitz is now well
known as a superbly gifted
pianist and has firmly estab-
lished herself in Detroit's
classical music scene. She
played with Antal Dorati in
the Brahms and Bartok festi-
vals of the Detroit Symphony
Orchestra, has been the fea-
tured soloist of many local
symphonies and chamber
ensembles, and has performed
at Orchestra Hall. Horowitz
played with the late Julius
Chajes and the Center Sym-
phony Orchestra and has also
appeared with violinist Misha
Rachlevsky and flautist Shaul
Ben Meir.
Horowitz
said
she
passionately loves chamber
music and describes it, saying,
"This is the highest form of
music: Making music," she
continues, "can be a very
lonely thing, especially when
you are a pianist. But making
music with others, creating a
beautiful thing . . . it makes
you progress as an individual
and as a performer. You learn
from the others and you give to
the others."
What Horowitz has given us,
as an outgrowth of her love for
music, is the creation of the
Lyric Chamber Ensemble, a
group composed of performers
from the DSO and talented in-
structors and performers from
area educational institutions.
Horowitz asserts that the pur-
pose of the group is to present
high-quality, innovative pro-
gramming featuring a wide
variety of music.' The Lyric
Chamber Ensemble has per-
formed classical music, music
from the 1920s,.pieces by Scott
Joplin and even Cole Porter.
"Every program," says
Horowitz, who conducts the
LCE and also performs, "is
different, to attract new people
and teach them not to be afraid
of chamber music." She also
enjoys planning commemora-
tive programs, featuring the
works of well known and less
visible composers.
Such a program, slated for
March 1 at 3:30 p.m. at Or-
chestra Hall, is the "Gershwin
Gala," marking the 60th year
since the death of George Ger-
shwin. The concert will include
Gershwin favorites, including
Rhapsody in Blue for piano,
highlights from Porgy and
Bess, I'll Build A Stairway To
Paradise and Our Love Is Here
To Stay, to name a few. The
artists performing for the
"Gershwin Gala" are typical of
most LCE programs: Michael
Gurt, piano; the Brazeal De-
nnard Chorale; the Lafayette
String Quartette; Earnestine
Nimmons, soprano; Horowitz
and Marcy Chanteaux, duo-
piano; and Sheri Nichols,
chanteuse, with Richard Be-
rent, piano.
Formal training for the
former Fedora Cohn began at
age six and by the time she
Fedora Horowitz
turned 12 she had been recog-
nized as a wunderkind, per-
forming, at this - time, Mozart
Concerto in D Minor with the
Romanian Broadcasting Or-
chestra.
Horowitz was born in Yassy,
a town in northern Romania
which, she says, "had half a
million population and half of
them were Jewish." She de-
scribes it as being a thriving
intellectual and cultural cen-
ter for Jews. Her father, Ar-
nold Cohn, was a CPA by trade,
but a gifted musician who
played violin, and, according to
Horowitz, possessed a magnifi-
cent voice and who could sing
opera like a professional.
Horowitz remembers that he
took her to the opera like some
parents take their children to
sporting events. Her mother
played piano and music was,
indeed, an integral part of her
life.
About this time, World War
II had erupted and Horowitz's
father was taken to a concen-
tration camp. The rest of the
family left Yassy, managing to
survive by hiding, and after
the war, grateful to be rejoined
by their husband and father,
settled in Bucharest. Horowitz
tells of repeated attempts from
1950 on to make aliyah and
vividly recalls the disappoint-
ments that accompanied each
government refusal.
In Bucharest, Horowitz,
attended a special school, a
conservatory, where mornings
were devoted to serious music
study and general studies took
place in the afternoon. When
asked to estimate the number
of hours she spent at the piano
each week, Horowitz muses, "I
had a Jewish teacher who I saw
two hours a week for lessons,
_but in between the teacher
would call me to her house and
give me an impromptu session.
I always had to produce and be
-prepared.'
