Markus Mizne

Markus Mizne (1908-1994) was born in Kiev. In the early 1920s, his family escaped the pogroms to Warsaw, and sent Markus to boarding school in German. In 1935 he arrived in Paris and studied at the Sorbonne. He lived in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo with his wife, pianist Felicja Blumental (1908-1991) and his daughter Annette. Unable to pursue his artistic career as a painter, he became a music producer and musicologist. In 1962 the Mizne family returned to Europe living in Paris, Milan, Rome and London.
