Join us for the Notes of Deception Lecture & Book Signing by Merryl Goldberg & Vince Houghton, a rare opportunity!
In 1985, a Quartet of American Musicians, members of a New England-based klezmer band, landed in Moscow. With little training in espionage, they risked their freedom and their lives to help fellow Jews, activists, and dissidents escape an oppressive regime by smuggling information, all this while under the watchful eye of the KGB. Merryl Goldberg was one of those musicians.
Together with co-author Vince Houghton, Director of the NSA National Cryptologic Museum, Ms. Goldberg tells the story of how she devised an ingenious plan to encode intelligence within the group’s sheet music.
Merryl Goldberg, saxophonist, writer, and activist, is a Professor of Music at California State University San Marcos.
