Internationally acclaimed concert pianist Mona Golabek has appeared in concert at the Hollywood Bowl, Kennedy Center, and Royal Festival Hall and with major orchestras throughout the world, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the National Symphony, London's New Philharmonic, and the Tokyo Philharmonic. She has collaborated with such distinguished conductors as Zubin Mehta, Andre Previn, Michael Tilson Thomas, and Leonard Slatkin.

The Grammy nominated pianist has been the recipient of various awards including the Avery Fisher Prize and the People's Award of the International Chopin Competition. Ms Golabek has been the subject of numerous PBS television documentaries, including "More Than The Music," winner of the grand prize in the 1985 Houston film Festival and "Concerto for Mona," featuring Golabek and conductor Zubin Mehta in the world premiere of the William Kraft piano concerto.

Her best selling album of Carnival of the Animals features Ms. Golabek along with her sister Renee Golabek-Kaye, as well as the voices of Audrey Hepburn, James Earl Jones, Dudley Moore, and Lynne Redgrave. The Golabek sisters' most recent release features the Concerto for Two Pianos by Francis Poulenc, as well as actress Meryl Streep narrating Poulenc's Babar the Elephant and Ravel's Mother Goose Suite. Mona Golabek is the host of the national syndicated radio show, The Romantic Hours. Press and listeners have hailed the show as one of most innovative programs to appear in recent times.

"A different breed of radio" writes The Pittsburgh Post.

"The Voice of Romance" says the Los Angeles Times.

The Golabek sisters were taught by their mother, Lisa Jura Golabek, a graduate of the London Royal Academy of Music. Their father, Michel Golabek received the Croix de Guerre during the French resistance. Their life story will be the subject of an upcoming biography, The Children of Willesden Lane, to be published in the fall.
