Mark Ludwig – currently a violist emeritus with the Boston Symphony Orchestra – was Studs Terkel’s guest on WFMT in 1991. That was the year Mr. Ludwig founded the Terezin Music Foundation, an organization which still flourishes today. During the hour he spent with Studs, Mr. Ludwig and his ensemble, the Hawthorne String Quartet, shared music created and performed in the notorious Nazi holocaust concentration camp, Theresienstadt.
