Born with exceptional musical talent, Wilmos Csehy performed publicly as a violinist at the age of four. By the time he was a teenager he had the opportunity for a brilliant musical career, but turned down secular celebrity to apply his musical gifts to sacred music.
His classical interpretation of familiar hymns inspired people in cities and villages across the continent as he toured with the Csehy Musical Messengers.
Today, the Csehy Summer School of Music which he founded gives both vocal and instrumental training to junior and senior high school students during its summer sessions.
In Heartstrings, Barbara M. Sutryn has compiled a rich treasury of the personal memories of people whose lives were enriched by working with Wilmos Csehy, as well as the historical facts provided by Wilmos' wife and musical partner, Gladys Csehy.
Reviews for Heartstrings
Barbara Sutryn has caught the Csehy's musical excellence, Christian vision, servants' heart, and superb integrity. Heartstrings chronicles a vibrant and enduring chapter of Kingdom music evangelism and instruction across the country and around the world.
From my youth when my parents spoke enthusiastically of hearing the Csehys at Bible conferences through the two years I ministered at the Summer Music Schools at Muncy Terraces, I was grateful for their incredible musical abilities and Christian dedication.
From Rev. David
M. Virkler, Evangelist
Dedication Evangelism
I will never forget the ministry of the Csehys. As a boy they were often in our church and home! I am delighted that at last his contribution to the cause of Christ has been so interestingly chronicled in this book.
From Dr. Joseph M.
Stowell, President
Moody Bible Institute
As a director of the ministry that bears the name of Wilmos Csehy and carries out his vision, I am daily reminded of his passion to reach people for Christ and his passion for music. This account of his life has confirmed my impressions of him from our meetings some thirty years ago and has deepened my appreciation for his commitment to Christ.
