Irma P. Jaunzem was born on September 27, 1897 in Minsk.
After finishing high school, her father sent Irma to learn singing and music in St. Petersburg, where she successfully entered the conservatory. In the summer of 1917 she went on vacation in Minsk, but go back to the conservatory Irma was not meant to be. During the Revolution and the Civil War, she had to act in the small ensembles (chamber theaters thumbnails) postranstvovav from Penza to Sevastopol. After the war was recertified in the Union of Artists (Rabis) and start of a planned
concert work as a member of a small group, which also includes: the young Vladimir Horowitz and Nathan Milstein. About those lean years, Irma remembered this way: "The food problem to some extent accelerated the final solution to the problem of my role. Together with my sisters, I went to the Belarusian villages to barter our underclothes belongings for food. And from there brought untold wealth - roughly about hundred Jewish and Belorussia folk songs. Among them Makhateyneste Mayne.
