SUMMARY:Hold On To Your Music: A Mother’s Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Join us in partnership with JCCSF for the San Francisco premiere of Hold On To Your Music: A Mother’s Legacy, including a live performance by internationally acclaimed concert pianist Mona Golabek.\nMona Golabek, the Grammy-nominated artist, shares her mother’s journey from Nazi-occupied Vienna to wartime London through the multi-award winning film, performance & conversation.\nVienna, 1938. The parents of 14-year-old piano prodigy Lisa Jura faced an unimaginable choice: which of their three daughters to send to safety on the Kindertransport. They chose Lisa. She arrived alone in London, carrying her dreams, memories of her family, and her mother’s parting words: “Hold on to your music.”\nGet tickets.\nDirected by Academy Award nominated Josh Aronson and Emmy Award winner Adam Wood, the film tells Lisa’s remarkable story through rare archival footage, newly restored recordings, and performances by her daughter, Mona Golabek. Drawing on Golabek’s best-selling book and acclaimed stage production, The Pianist of Willesden Lane, it celebrates the enduring power of music and a mother’s love – a story that has reached more than 20 million people worldwide.
