from Coffee with the Dog · host minddogTV

What if a violin could tell its own story?In The Autobiography of the Offenbacher, a centuries-old violin narrates its remarkable journey through generations of Jewish life across Central and Eastern Europe, surviving war, exile, the Holocaust, and profound cultural change. Inspired by decades of fieldwork documenting Jewish and Romani traditions throughout Eastern Europe, award-winning author, filmmaker, ethnographer, and renowned klezmer musician Yale Strom weaves history, memory, and music into a powerful story about resilience and identity.The novel opens the door to compelling conversations about how music preserves culture and history, the untold stories of Jewish communities in Eastern Europe, why historical fiction continues to resonate with readers today, and the healing and unifying power of music across generations.As a unique addition to the interview, award-winning author, filmmaker, and renowned klezmer musician Yale Strom can also perform live violin during the segment, bringing the sounds and traditions that inspired the novel directly to audiences in a visually engaging and memorable way.https://www.yalestrom.com/🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
