FOR NADA'S BIRTHDAY THIS YEAR LET'S BE SURE TO SHOW SPECIAL APPRECIATION FOR HER ABIDING COMMITMENT TO GREAT MUSIC, WHICH IS ONE OF THE FEW THINGS REMAINING IN THE WORLD TYING US ALL TOGETHER AS HUMANS!
PLEASE GIVE WHAT YOU CAN, AS AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN, TO HELP DEFRAY TRAVEL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH HER UPCOMING EUROPEAN POLYPHONY AND DIALOGUE TOUR SET TO COMMENCE OCTOBER 2025!
In celebration of her birthday, Nada will prepare for her Polyphony & Dialogue tour set to kick-off in Paris, France 17 October 2025 at the KAWAI Showroom performing J. Brahms Scherzo Opus 4 V. Prince Nocturne No. 4 Reminiscence Division and Partage J.S. Bach Prelude and Fugue, BWV 547, in C Major (Arranged by Franz Liszt).
She will then be off on the 24th to see London for the first time in her life, and to play Brahms, V.Prince, Bach, and Schubert at Bechstein Hall. This will be a performance you will not want to miss!!
At the link below you can buy tickets to see Nada perform at the lauded Bechstein Hall in London on October 24th:
Also in London, Nada will be performing 29 October at St. Botolph, an ancient parish in the heart of Aldgate, a vibrant, historic part of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
She will then return to France for a solo performance on the 30th of October in Rouen, France ... a port city along the Seine River in Normandy whose gothic cathedral was the famous subject of some of Claude Monet's very finest work, and also the location of one of the world's last remaining Renaissance-era astronomic clocks!
On 7 November, Nada will perform once again in Amsterdam, an historic city of lively and liberal culture. You can get tickets to see this performance at the following link:
Finally, Nada wraps up her 2025 European tour on the 9th of November in Le Brionnais, a picturesque region in southern Burgundy renowned for its Romanesque architecture and rolling green hills.
Since the time this fundraiser began Nada's been with orchestras in New York City as well as performing solo in European venues across France and the Netherlands!
After traveling to the Netherlands in late March 2025 for solo-recital performances Nada revisited New York City in early May to record with Orchestra Manhattan!
On the program was The Solemn March to the Holy Grail from Parsifal, S450 (Wagner/Liszt); Die Forelle, S564 (Schubert/Liszt); Erlkönig, S558-4 (Schubert/Liszt); and Liszt's piano original Sonata in B minor, S178.
Of her performances in the Netherlands the chairman of the Franz Liszt Circle said that "Nada showed herself to be a passionate and virtuoso interpreter of the piano works of Franz Liszt ... in his B minor Sonata in particular she succeeded in building up the large form dramatically!"
And you may see her performances for yourself at the following links (which include two personally narrated introductions) recorded in preparation for her departure abroad at a quaint gathering in her home in New Albany:
"There is nothing more vital to me than to perform for others and share my love of music!"
-Pianist Nada
A video recording of Nada performing both Lizst and Rachmaninoff — master composers whose bodies of work pique her particular interests — moved the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to extend a personal invitation for her to perform with them in London in 2025. This fundraiser helps Nada defray costs such as these!
At the following links you'll find impressive excerpts of Pianist Nada's masterful solo performance of Liszt's Wild Jagd and Rachmaninoff's 2nd Concerto alongside the Tahoe Symphony Orchestra in Lake Tahoe, Nevada:
Nada is a classically trained concert pianist born and raised in Lebanon, living now for more than twenty years in the United States' Northeast and Midwest. Beginning to play at age eight, debuting in concert at eleven, she's been performing classical masterpieces ever since at finer venues around the world.
The piano, for Nada, represents a complex spiritual journey that often spreads to faraway places. With humility and gratitude (both on and off the stage) she delivers to her audiences listening pleasure at its very finest ... and to see her perform is a study in technical mastery. Those of us in her local circle are greatly privileged to watch and hear her so often as we do, and we are all delighted to campaign on her behalf in this especially important fundraiser!
At the link below you'll be pleased to find an excerpt from Brahms 2nd Concerto performed by Pianist Nada with The Classical Hour Orchestra in Louisville, Kentucky:
Coming to know Johannes Brahms through his boundless work has been a thorough undertaking for Nada ... somewhat different than her studies of Mozart — with whom she has a more natural affinity — or Bach, or Beethoven. Playing other composers has benevolently given her an enlightened perspective for the curious challenge of Brahms, and a greater context for his unique genius.
Please donate what you can, as often as you can, in this ongoing fundraising campaign to help Nada continue to pursue such rare opportunities as these ... and stay tuned for updates about the unfolding path of Pianist Nada's impassioned musical journey!
