The Pianist of Willesden Lane

Starring celebrated pianist Mona Golabek, this tour de force recounts the inspiring true story of Golabek’s mother, Lisa Jura, a young Jewish musician. Created and directed by Hershey Felder, this musical journey follows Jura’s escape from Nazi-occupied Austria via the Kindertransport, and her life at a children’s home on Willesden Lane in London, where she later survived the London Blitz. Combining vivid storytelling and masterful performances of classics by Bach, Beethoven, and Rachmaninoff, this is a one-woman show that illustrates how music can bring light and hope to even the darkest of times.
