History of the Collection
George Batyi was born in Homestead, Pennsylvania in 1959 and has been playing the violin since the age of ten.
He has toured throughout the U.S., and he currently leads a band called "Gypsy Stringz." Batyi donated the Collection to the Oberlin Conservatory Library in April 2016, facilitated by Dr. Ian MacMillen and Liliana Milkova.
