Wolk Transfer is the lead producer of THE PIANIST. An iconic story of survival and triumph through music, boldly reimagined and musicalized for the stage by Thom Southerland and Simon Lee (Andrew Lloyd Webber’s longtime music director), and brought to symphonic life by an ensemble of 10 actor-musicians playing over 50 characters and a range of instruments.  The piece is underscored and uplifted from start to finish by the indelible melodies of the Pianist himself, Wladyslaw Szpilman, presented here to theater audiences outside Poland for the first time.
