Summer, 1938. Ilona, a concert pianist known for her sharp wit as much as her musical passion, refuses to be ruled by fear, even as fellow Jewish artists and academics flee Hungary. Surely Budapest is safe from the growing Nazi fervor—isn’t it? Filled with intrigue, music, and wry humor, this world premiere is a taut emotional thriller, as a woman caught in one of history’s darkest moments fights to find a way forward.

Part of the Fayetteville Public Library’s Summer Concert Series, we are bringing the family fun outdoors to the J.B. and Johnelle Hunt Family Gathering Glade. Candy Lee will share her delightful music for kids – dancing encouraged!
