Wolk Transfer is the lead producer of THE PIANIST. Based on Wladyslaw Szpilman’s internationally bestselling memoir, Thom Southerland’s remarkable new production brings one of the twentieth century’s most extraordinary true stories to the stage featuring Szpilman’s own music for the first time. A cast of virtuoso actor-musicians conjures the golden age of Jewish Warsaw’s packed concert halls, candlelit cafés, and irrepressible spirit through Szpilman’s luminous compositions, orchestrated by Simon Lee (Andrew Lloyd-Webber’s long-time musical director). A profound, life-affirming celebration of creativity and the enduring power of music.
