Last August when we met up with Phil in Paris, he introduced us to his girlfriend, Hania. Here are Phil and Hania last August at the Place du Tertre in the Montmartre quarter of Paris.
Phil is now in graduate school at the London School of Economics while Hania is in Warsaw. Hania is beautiful, charming and super fun. As it ends up, Hania's cousin is an 18 year old professional pianist named Jan Lisiecki. As luck would have it, Jan's recent tour included a concert last Friday night in Kansas City.
We went ... and it was amazing. It was fun to connect with him after the concert. Needless to say, he was stunned to hear that we knew his cousin, Hania. Jan is the tall one in the middle.
Jan's mother warmly received us in a gracious and dignified manner.
Here is a short You Tube clip of Jan playing Chopin:
As eluded to in the video, Jan plays completely without sheet music.
Sunday was Mother's Day. Aunt Nancy joined us for a Mother's Day lunch.
We are very lucky to have two wonderful mothers.
Happy Mother's Day to mothers everywhere.
Thank you for all you do.
