A survivor of Nazi concentration camps during her youth, she later emerged as a leading musician, performing internationally for five decades and producing over 100 recordings. Married to composer Viktor Kalabis, she resisted political pressure under the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia. Růžičková was also a dedicated teacher, influencing a generation of musicians.
