Our Master Teacher: We are privileged to have Nelita True as our master teacher this year. She made her debut at age seventeen with the Chicago Symphony and her New York debut with the Juilliard Orchestra in Avery Fisher Hall.

Ms. True is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Michigan. She went on to Juilliard to study with Sacha Gorodnitzk and then earned her DMA with Leon Fleisher at the Peabody Conservatory.

She studied in Paris with Nadia Boulanger on a Fulbright grant. Ms. True is currently Professor of Piano at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. She is known around the world as a master teacher, an extraordinary pianist, and an exemplary musician.

It will truly be a memorable experience for our teachers and students to work with such a distinguished artist.

Master Class: Dr. True will select students from the three days of master lessons to perform in a master class on Tuesday morning, October 7.
