Nancy Garniez
Piano
About
I have played piano all my life with and without instruction. First formally trained as an organist, I returned to the piano, my first love, in my 20's and have been at it ever since. Founded Alaria Chamber Ensemble in 1983, coordinated chamber music at Mannes Extension Division for 35 years, have been giving in-house recitals in my home since 2008 and loving every minute of the small audience's attention.
Music
Bach and Sons, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, Schumann and that is just for starters. Debussy, Ravel, Bartok, no end in sight.
