2nd Annual Louis Nagel in Concert

Including a Special Introduction by

Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist II

Louis Nagel is a Steinway Artist and Professor Emeritus of Piano at The University of Michigan School of Music Theatre and Dance. Winner of the Harold Haugh Award for Excellence in Teaching, he has combined his pedagogical and performance career with outreach throughout the United States and abroad. Performances and residencies have reached audiences and students in Israel, Vienna, Russia, England, Australia, Taiwan, and Poland. He is equally at home on the concert stage, classroom, or in retirement homes.

Critics have praised him as “deeply satisfying—and a panorama of aural experiences, “an exciting musical intelligence combined with a brilliant technique”, ”a pedagog, a performer and scholar, all synthesized”.

Louis Nagel has been called the “go-to” person to prepare students for college and conservatory auditions and for those who aspire to “the next level” in pianistic and musical artistry. He continues to teach privately and concertize in solo appearances and in collaboration with his wife, psychologist, Dr. Julie Jaffee Nagel in unique joint master-classes that address careers in the arts, stage fright, and the importance of music in society. Louis Nagel is a graduate of The Juilliard School where he earned his Bachelor, Masters, and Doctoral Degrees. His recordings include works of Bach, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Shostakovich, Liszt, and Balakirev.

This special fundraising event will happen via Zoom on Sunday, February 13, 2022 beginning at 3 p.m.
