SUMMARY:Book Talk & Performance: The Piano Player of Budapest - Unearthing a family's melodies and memories
DESCRIPTION:When her father died\, singer songwriter Roxanne de Bastion inherited a piano she knew had been in her family for over a hundred years. But it is only when she finds a cassette recording of her grandfather\, Stephen\, playing one of his compositions\, the true and almost unbelievable history of the piano\, this man and her family begins to unravel. \nStephen de Bastion was a concert pianist and film composer and found success in and around his native Hungary in the 1930s. Being of Jewish descent\, Stephen was sent to the Russian front as a forced labourer. He survived both the labour camp\, as well as a lonely walk back from Russia after their group was disbanded and left to die\, as well as imprisonment in Mauthausen and Gunskirchen camps. \nJoin us for a Q&A with author Roxanne de Bastion to learn about Stephen’s remarkable story of survival\, as well as his music. Roxanne will be joined by her aunt Julie de Bastion (Stephen’s daughter)\, as they share thoughts on how trauma is passed down through generations and how shining a light on the past can be healing for future generations. \nThe evening will close with a performance of some of Stephen’s work by Roxanne.
