“Virtuoso:  The Olga Samaroff Story”
Speaker Donna Kline, Historian and Author

A documentary film about Olga Samaroff who became one of America’s first and perhaps most famous, international concert artists.  Against all odds, she was a virtuoso pianist who became the respected and beloved equal among all the leading musical figures of her time.  Noted in history as the wife (and discoverer) of legendary conductor Leopold Stokowski, Donna weaves Samaroff’s story into the rich fabric of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
