Life lessons from devoted musician Rudolf Golez

CULTURE CAROUSEL

Rudolf Golez started basic piano lessons under his mother at four years old. Then he enrolled with Sister Lourdes Allegado, RVM, who prepared him for his Premier Piano recital at the Lourdes College within a year of formal piano lessons.

At 11, Rudolf performed for then First Lady, Imelda Marcos, at the Coconut Palace in Manila. Mrs. Marcos would have been the benefactress of Rudolf, but the 1986 EDSA Revolution put an end to this collaboration.
