The Pianist of Willesden Lane at the Segal Centre
This weekend is your last chance to see the much acclaimed musical performance of Mona Golabek in The Pianist of Willesden Lane. Currently running for two more performances at the Segal Center for Performing Arts.
Golabek simply astounds with her moving solo, virtuoso piano storytelling performance that is a veritable musical memoir. Based on a very personal and true story, the audience follows the journey of young Jewish piano prodigy Lisa Jura from her lessons with her first piano professor in Vienna to her escape from Nazi-ruled Austria aboard the kinder train to the relative safety of London during the Blitzkrieg.
In this inspirational show, Jura’s daughter, Grammy-nominated piano virtuoso Mona Golabek, performs some of the world’s most beautiful music by Debussy, Bach, Grieg, Beethoven, and Chopin on a Steinway concert piano , as she shares her mother’s riveting story of survival.
You will hope, learn, travel and cry over this true and heartwarming tale of sacrifice, talent and ultimately Love.
Currently running until September 29th at the Segal Centre for Performing Arts.
Tickets are on sale now at 514.739.7944 or at www.segalcentre.org
WHERE: 5170 chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine, Montreal, H3W 1M7
