Agi Jambor (1909 – 1997) was born in Budapest, Hungary. A piano prodigy who could play Mozart before she could read, Jambor made her debut with a symphony orchestra at age twelve. Jambor became a member of the Resistance movement when the Nazis invaded Hungary in 1944; after the war she refused to return to or perform in Germany again. Jambor moved to the United States (Baltimore, MD) in 1947 and eventually settled in Philadelphia. She became a favorite soloist of Eugene Ormandy, conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra. She remained a recluse for much of her life.
