The Pianist of Willesden Lane in Chicago
APRIL 19, 2013 to MAY 12, 2013
Set in Vienna in 1938 and in London during the Blitzkrieg, The Pianist of Willesden Lane tells the true story of Mona Golabek's mother, noted pianist Lisa Jura. When Lisa is sent on the kinder transport to London to protect her from the Nazi regime, everything about her life is upended except her love of music and her pursuit of her dream. The Pianist of Willesden Lane is about hope, survival and how, through our darkest times, music has the power to help us survive.
