Nancy Elton, Pianist
Nancy Elton has received critical acclaim for her performances as a solo recitalist, concerto soloist and chamber musician throughout the southeast and many areas of the U.S. Hailed as "...an artist capable of amazing fire and brilliance as well as being possessed of the most graceful sensitivity and delicacy...a dazzling pianist to say the very least" (The State and Columbia Record, Columbia, SC), she maintains an active performing and teaching schedule. Her performance of Liszt’s Concerto in Eb was described as “brilliant and sensitive...with beautiful phrasing, exceptionally clear arpeggios, trills...a powerful precision tempered with a delicate suspension of tones... a finger technique of superior quality found in a select few pianists” (Florence, SC, Morning News). An Austin American Statesman review described her Ravel and Liszt as “a dazzling performance.” And the Robesonian of NC used phrases such as “brilliance of technique, brilliance of interpretation, the ability to get into the music and blend with the spirit of the composer...into the heart and soul of the composition.”
