Whether with Tesla boss Elon Musk, the exceptional artist Gerhard Richter or the star violinist Anne Sophie Mutter - many people work in the vicinity of geniuses.

She made a career as pianist and artistic director of the Jerusalem Chamber Music Festival - and was surrounded by even greater talent all her life.
