Janusz B. (11/02/2019)
Ida Haendel (born on December 15, 1928 in Chełm) - British violinist of Polish-Jewish descent. She was born in a traditional Polish Jewish family. She was the so-called "wonderful child". In the third year of life, she played violin hears. At the age of 4, she began studying with Mieczysław Michałowicz at the Warsaw Conservatory. Then she continued her studies with Carl Flesch (Berlin, London) and George Enescu (Paris). In 1935 she was the youngest participant in the 1st Violin Competition Henryk Wieniawski in Warsaw (she took seventh place). During World War II, she performed many concerts for soldiers of Allied countries. In the years 1946–1947 she made her debut with concerts in the United States. In 1940 she adopted British citizenship. Until 1952, she lived in London, then moved to Montreal, where she lived until 1989. In Poland, she gave concerts in 1959 and in 1960; in 1986, with her father, she made a sentimental journey to Chełm, recorded by Canadian television (the film by Ida Haendel).
