In this episode of the 613 Seconds Podcast, we sit down with violinist Yonatan Grinberg to explore his unconventional path from soccer-loving kid to accomplished classical musician. Raised in an observant Jewish home, Yonatan shares the challenges of navigating a music career while staying true to his values, and how creativity and grit helped him forge a unique path—including founding Chamber Encounters and curating programs like “Jews in Music” in response to rising antisemitism. From making classical music more accessible to staying grounded in Baltimore’s vibrant Jewish community, Yonatan’s story hits all the right notes.
