Regarded as a national treasure in her native Lebanon, Nada Maria Loutfi has become a favorite of audiences in the United States and Europe. Nada began her piano studies in the midst of the war in Beirut where, for seven years, she was confined to a mountain exile. With the Bach Conventions and Chopin Waltzes as her only teacher, she was admitted to the Paris Conservatory. There she won the First Prize in Piano.
Nada's engagements have included Salle Gaveau (Paris), Salzburg Festival, Jupiter Symphony (NYC), Louisville Orchestra, Dayton Arts Institute, Kilburn Hall (Eastman School of Music), Dame Myra Hess Series ( Chicago), American University in Beirut. Her private performances include concerts for President Clinton and The French Ministry of the Navy and she has performed live on NPR 's " Performance Today", French National TV & Radio, and on Arab international channels.
Now living in New York City, Nada is involved in several projects including the Salon Concert Series, a "Concert Tour for Peace" in the Middle East, and an upcoming concert with the Greenwich Village Philharmonic Orchestra.
On her new album Nada performs Brahams, Fantasien Opus 116, Capricco in D major, and Dukas, Sonata in E-flat minor.
