Adapted and directed by HERSHEY FELDER Based on the book The Children of Willesden Lane: Beyond the Kindertransport: A Memoir of Music, Love, and Survival (Grand Central Publishing, 2003)

by MONA GOLABEK and LEE COHEN With MONA GOLABEK Set in Vienna in 1938 and in London during the Blitz, The Pianist Of Willesden Lane tells the true story of Lisa Jura, a young Jewish pianist who is dreaming about her concert debut at Vienna’s storied Musikverein concert hall. But with the issuing of new ordinances under the Nazi regime, everything for Lisa changes, except for her love of music and the pursuit of her dream. Featuring some of the world’s most beloved piano music played live, The Pianist Of Willesden Lane is performer Mona Golabek’s true family story; a story of music, family survival, and hope. The Pianist Of Willesden Lane makes its New York premiere after critically acclaimed, sold out runs in Chicago, Boston, Berkeley, and Los Angeles.

By LAUREN GUNDERSON Directed by BILL ENGLISH With SUSI DAMILANO, SHERMAN HOWARD and STACY ROSS World-renowned artist Rudolf Bauer was so driven to create that he sketched on scraps of paper in a Nazi prison. Yet he stopped painting forever when a feud erupted between him, his patron and benefactor Solomon Guggenheim, and Bauer’s lifetime love, Baroness Hilla Rebay – one of Guggenheim’s most trusted curators.

The Guggenheim Museum, originally built to house Bauer’s works, opened without a single Bauer exhibited.

Bauer is a compelling and controversial imagined face-off between Bauer and the two women he loved most, as each confronts the passions of his life and art.

Considered by many art historians and critics to have had a major impact on modern artists like Jackson Pollock and William de Kooning, many of Bauer’s paintings remain banished to this day in the basement of the Guggenheim Museum.
