‘My piece of home is my instrument’ – a refugee’s tale
mainPeter Kaldor left Hungary aged 16 in 1956, taking with him two rounds of sandwiches and his most important possession, his trumpet mouthpiece.
A refugee, he tells the BBC, ‘loses everything except his accent’. And, in Peter’s case, his mouthpiece.
‘One way or another, I spent the rest of my life in music,’ he says.
Watch his moving story here.
There is another Peter Kaldor, in Australia, a religious fanatic. He is not me. I am a devout atheist.
Dear Peter,
Please could you give me a ring on 07768 693283
Thank you, Andrew Edwards (Gudrun’s son)
