No one was able to save composer Marcel Tyberg from a sad death in the Nazi concentration camps in 1944. But a valiant effort over the last 70 years involving one of Tyberg's students, conductor JoAnn Falletta, and the Buffalo Philharmonic, was successful in saving much of his music. JoAnn Falletta joins host Fred Child today to tell the story of Marcel Tyberg and her trip to Croatia to conduct his Second Symphony in the tiny town where Tyberg composed it.
