German Diez Recital: Erika Nickrenz & Antoine Zemor
2023-03-25 19:00 | Greenwich House Music School, 46 Barrow Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
German Diez Recital: Erika Nickrenz and Antoine Zemor
Saturday, March 25th at 7:00 pm
Greenwich House Music School
46 Barrow Street, NYC
TICKETS: $25 online or at the door

Celebrated alumni Erika Nickrenz and Antoine Zemor return to Greenwich House Music School for the first German Diez Recital of 2023 as they look to honor their former mentor and our late piano chairperson, Maestro German Diez. These accomplished pianists will present a program dedicated to German featuring the works of Mozart, Chopin, Schubert, Nazareth, Moszkowski, and Piazzolla. Tickets are $25 and a portion of proceeds will go towards the German Diez Piano Scholarship Fund, which has given help to promising piano students based on merit and need since 1997. Join us at 46 Barrow Street on Saturday, March 25 at 7 p.m.

Pianist Erika Nickrenz made her concerto debut in New York’s Town Hall at the age of 11. A recipient of the Rockefeller Tanglewood Fellowship, she began her studies with German Diez at the Greenwich House Music School at age 6 and later received her Bachelor’s and Master of Music degrees from the Juilliard School as a pupil of Abbey Simon. Multiple Grammy nominee Nickrenz has toured with Music from Marlboro, the Spoleto Festival, and with Charles Wadsworth and Friends. Steinway Artist Nickrenz was featured soloist on the PBS series “Live from Lincoln Center” and recently performed George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” at the Music in the Mountains Festival. Nickrenz was the founding pianist of the Walden Horn Trio and Chamber Soloists USA. Current projects include commissions and recordings of composers Carlos Franzetti, Miguel Del Aguila, Jovino Santos Neto, Emilio Kauderer, Daniel Binelli, and Adolphus Hailstork.
As pianist of the Naumburg Award-winning Eroica Trio, Nickrenz has released 8 recordings for EMI and performs the Beethoven Triple Concerto more frequently than any other trio in the world.
Ms. Nickrenz currently resides in Northern New Jersey with her husband, clarinetist Karl Herman, and their son, Zachary.

Antoine Zemor began his piano studies at the Greenwich House Music School with the renowned teacher German Diez. Under Diez’s guidance, he made rapid progress, and within a few years was performing as a soloist in concertos by Mendelssohn and Grieg. He later continued his studies at the Juilliard School, where he earned a doctorate and was featured as a soloist in Brahms second concerto in Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall.
After finishing formal music studies, he began to pursue a career as a finance professional, a field in which he continues to thrive. While developing his finance career, he has also continued to sustain a modest schedule of musical activity and concert performances. His musical career highlights include releasing a full-length CD of solo piano music by the Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth (currently available on major streaming platforms) and performing Liszt’s first piano concerto as a soloist with the New Amsterdam Symphony in New York’s Symphony Space.

The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition recognizing the talented artists who contribute to the Greenwich House Pottery (GHP) community. This exhibition showcases the artistic range of makers, each of whom uses the Pottery’s extensive resources to express their own creative voice in clay. From functional ceramics to sculpture, this exhibition is as diverse and as interesting as the artists themselves.
Greenwich House Pottery has been supporting artists and their projects since 1904. Since our first clay classes for neighborhood youth to our present-day educational program, lecture series, artist residency program, and exhibition series, we have been promoting the field of ceramics. We serve more than 400 artists and students per term who learn from professional faculty and staff proficient in a range of topics from wheel throwing, hand-building, and mold-making to glaze chemistry and slip casting. GHP also hosts workshops and lectures by leading ceramic artists from around the country and offers children the opportunity to work in clay through Greenwich House’s Youth Community Center. The artists in this exhibition represent the continuous achievement, exploration and passion for ceramic arts that GHP has fostered for over 118 years.

Reflections on Inspiration
2023-03-16 19:30 | Greenwich House Music School, 46 Barrow Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
Reflections on Inspiration
Bruce Wolosoff composer-pianist
TICKETS: $20 online or at the door
Reflections in Music, a non-profit concert series that launched online during the pandemic lockdown and found a home for live performances at The Church (an arts and performance center in Sag Harbor), has now found a New York City home at Greenwich House Music School on Barrow Street.
“This concert is particularly meaningful to me,” said composer Bruce Wolosoff, the Artistic Director of Reflections, “as Greenwich House Music School has been a vital force in the community for musical education and performance for many, many years. It’s a neighborhood institution that has had a powerful impact on the lives of many students and families, and New Yorkers who enjoy music and the arts.”
Mr. Wolosoff himself had lessons there with his beloved teacher, Cuban pianist German Diez, a protege of Claudio Arrau, who was Chairman of the Music School’s piano department for over 50 years.
That impact is something Wolosoff experienced firsthand when he was enrolled at Greenwich House Music School (GHMS) studying under his beloved teacher, Cuban pianist German Diez, a protégé of Claudio Arrau and chairman of Greenwich House’s piano department for over 50 years. Wolosoff will fittingly begin his concert with a piece composed in memory of Diez, “I called the piece Siempre because he is always with me,” said the composer.
Bringing the traditions of the past into the present is central to Wolosoff’s musical language, with a wide range of influences and inspirations on the new album, from Purcell to Piazzolla, Chopin to Ligeti to Otis Spann. “We’re so excited to welcome Bruce back to GHMS!” says Rachel Black, Director of the Music School. “It’s always a privilege to reconnect with our former students and in Bruce’s case, we’re thrilled not only to recognize the meaningful work he’s created with Reflections but grateful for the opportunity to help sustain his mission of empowering young musicians and introducing classical music to more audiences through this new partnership.”
You can hear him at Greenwich House Music School— located at 46 Barrow Street— on Thursday, March 16th at 7:30 p.m.

BRUCE WOLOSOFF is a pianist and internationally performed composer of solo, chamber, and orchestral music. Lauded as “an authentic American voice” by critic Thomas Bohlert for his integration of classical, jazz, blues, and contemporary influences, Wolosoff often composes in response to visual art and through collaborations with leading artists across a variety of disciplines.
