New Zealand pianist, Nicola Melville, has been described as "a marvelous pianist who plays with splashy color but also exquisite tone and nuance" (American Record Guide) and "the sort of advocate any composers would love" (Dominion Post). A winner of numerous competitions including the National Concerto Competition and the Auckland Star Concerto Competition, she has collaborated with members of the Kronos and JACK quartets as well as members of the Detroit, Cleveland, Minnesota, and Saint Paul Chamber orchestras. Dr. Melville is the Dye Family Professor of Music at Carleton College and Chair of the piano program at the Chautauqua Music Festival. In addition, she tours as pianist with the contemporary music group, Zeitgeist, with whom she performs nearly 40 concerts a year.
For her W&L performance, Dr. Melville will present a solo piano program that features a blend of influences from the kitsch, ragtime, and electronic music genres. She will also lead a public master class to students of the W&L piano program on September 27 at 10:00 am.
