BOOK RELEASE IN LITHUANIA

Born under a piano traces the incredible life of Mūza Rubackytė, concert pianist
Ovadia Publishing

In this autobiography, she opens up with modesty about her childhood with her mother and her aunt, her two renowned teachers. She evokes with emotion her life as a child prodigy, adulated. At the age of seven, she played her first concerto with orchestra. As an only child living with her mother and aunt who survived the deportation, they were probably saved by the magic of the piano.

Her fascinating book is full of anecdotes from her countless travels, sometimes with behind-the-scenes, often dramatic but also funny and touching.

Finally, Mūza offers her captivating reflections on her passion for music and his mission as a “passer-by”.
