Known for bringing exquisite tone color and expressivity to an unusual breadth of repertoire, Nnenna Ogwo has performed in Europe, the Middle East, South America and the United States. An American pianist of Caribbean and African descent, Ms. Ogwo began playing the piano at age six, studying piano and composition at Peabody Conservatory Preparatory in Baltimore, Maryland, and completing her studies at Oberlin College and Conservatory in Oberlin, Ohio, the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, Hungary and SUNY Stony Brook in New York. Her artistic acumen and acute scholarship result in a profound technical command of her instrument and a thoroughly engaging stage presence. Her current projects involve the expansion of her annual Juneteenth celebration of black music and composition at Joe’s Pub at the Public Theatre in downtown Manhattan as well as an upcoming recording of the music of composers of the African diaspora.
