Notes from the Fires: Nina & Sasha: Normality Helps a Family Rebuild
00:00

Notes from the Fires host John Rabe has been checking in periodically with mother and daughter Nina Evtuhov and Sasha Schoettler, whose family home in the Palisades burned in January.

Nina Evtuhov and her daughter Sasha Schoettler in New Haven, Connecticut, where Sasha is starting her last year at Yale.

Nina is a sought-after session violinist who now lives in Venice, and Sasha is a clarinetist, just starting her last year at college, which is where John caught up with them.

Sometimes there’s nothing the matter with being obvious. It’s September, so let’s close today with Kurt Weill’s “September Song.” Here’s the Zurich Chamber Orchestra, with Joscho Stephan on guitar and Daniel Hope on violin.
