As Iowa's only living Holocaust survivor, David Wolnerman was celebrated for his incredible life of survival and grace led by his family, friends, and music by Jewish composers performed by the Indianapolis Quartet. The program included Schulhoff's "Five Pieces for String Quartet," Ullmann's "String Quartet No. 3, Op. 46," and Mendelssohn's "String Quartet No. 6 in F Minor, Op. 80."
