A lifelong performing classical musician, as the associate principal cello of the Minnesota Orchestra from 1980-2012, Ms. Horvath is a writer, anti-racism spokesperson, and advocate for injury prevention for musicians. She has performed in recital, chamber music, and as soloist with orchestras throughout the US, Canada, and Europe, and has given masterclasses and seminars for orchestras and conservatories from coast to coast. She has appeared on CBC, BBC, and NPR radio stations, and PBS television and is a popular guest speaker, live and on podcasts. Her first book Playing (less) Hurt – An Injury Prevention Guide for Musicians received international critical acclaim, winning a gold IPPY award in 2009. The Cello Still Sings—A Generational Story of the Holocaust and of the Transformative Power of Music, her new book, is a vivid, moving, and true story of personal discovery that reads like a mystery story. When she's not playing or writing she's cooking up her mother's Hungarian recipes! Janet's other publications include for The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Minneapolis StarTribune and numerous music magazines. She completed her Masters of Music degree from Indiana University, and her MFA in creative writing from Hamline University, in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
