Stephen Nielson

Distinguished in both classical and sacred music, Stephen Nielson is widely regarded as one of the distinctive artists of our time.

His concertizing has taken him to such cities as Hong Kong, Bogotá, Freiburg, Copenhagen, Berlin, London, Vienna, Brussels, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Prague, Salzburg, Jerusalem and Chennai, India, to name a few. He has toured major artistic centers in Russia, the Baltics, Japan and Switzerland, and is an Ambassador of Culture for the World Cultural Alliance. For more than a quarter century, his North American solo and chamber music itinerary numbers concerts in the hundreds, from Los Angeles to Boston, Seattle to Naples, Detroit to Mexico City, Miami to Winnipeg and Toronto, and Chicago to Dallas.

Hailing a performance in Germany, the Berlin Morgenpost said, "Highly sensitive, articulate artistry," while Brussels' Le Soir exclaimed, "Exciting and masterful playing." His discography includes recordings of the classical repertoire, music for piano and cello, and hymn tunes in the classical style. His writing achievements appear in the catalogues of several American publishers.

For more than four decades, Stephen Nielson was one‑half of the acclaimed duo‑piano team of Nielson & Young, whose breadth of repertoire and performance venues was virtually without comparison. He continues his ongoing solo activities and is embarking on exciting new musical partnerships in the United States and abroad.

Stephen Nielson and his wife Carolyne reside in Dallas and are the proud parents of daughters Christiana and Caroline. Learn more about Stephen Nielson at www.nielsonandyoung.com.
