The Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage, in partnership with USC Shoah Foundation, proudly presents The Children of Willesden Lane, the critically acclaimed one-woman theatrical performance by concert pianist Mona Golabek. The show is based on Golabek’s book ( of the same name) and recounts the story of her mother’s survival, resilience and triumph during World War II. Mona Golabek is the daughter of Lisa Jura. Lisa was a child piano prodigy born in Vienna, Austria, who came to England as a refugee in 1938 as part of the Kindertransport rescue operation. Mona’s father, Michel Golabek, was a French resistance fighter, who received the Croix de Guerre. Mona, deeply inspired by her mother's story and the last words her mother heard at the train station, “Hold on to your music….it will be your best friend” became a concert pianist and has performed with major conductors and orchestras worldwide. The Grammy nominee and prolific recording artist has traveled the globe sharing her mother’s story. Please join us at the Maltz Performing Arts Center for an in-person performance featuring Mona Golabek. Mona’s foundation, Hold On To Your Music, is now working in partnership with USC Shoah Foundation, the leading educators in Holocaust education, to bring Mona’s mission to life through The Willesden Project. The Willesden Project offers a unique constellation of educational elements-rooted in testimony, technology, and music-to open students’ hearts and minds, and expand the ways in which they learn about the history of the Holocaust and related themes.

CHILD PIANO PRODIGY ON ELLEN HOW TO
#Child piano prodigy ellen how toĪll this tells me that nobody in his whole life has spent a bit of time teaching him manners and how to interact socially, and every single adult he met have told him how cute and lovey he is, so he will be more and more tiring and attention seeker every day.

People will soon start seeing the monster they have created, but it will be too late for him. He feels that he needs to constantly bring drama to "be himself" and lots of people dislike that. I'm not the only one but I might be one of the few saying it loudly about a little kid.

Nothing against real personality, but really I got completely fed up of him within the first 15 seconds, I barely managed to wait till he started playing. If he reminds any of you of your little genius kids or grandkids, sorry. but it's good to hear what some people really thinks. I hope his parents will realise that one can be him/herself without theatre and noise. This is assuming that he hasn't got any mental issue, of course.
