Nelson Goerner* Piano

“A poet who is also a goldsmith" - Diapason, October 2013 

"..what happened on the Teatro Colon's stage was not only a very rigorous exhibition of virtuosity but a superb demonstration of the best art of musical interpretation." - La Nacion, 15 May 2014


Born in San Pedro, Argentina, Nelson Goerner has established himself as one of the most prominent pianists of his generation. After studying in Argentina with Jorge Garrubba, Juan Carlos Arabian and Carmen Scalcione, he was awarded First Prize in the Franz Liszt Competition in Buenos Aires in 1986. This led to a scholarship to work with Maria Tipo at the Geneva Conservatoire, and in 1990 Nelson Goerner won the First Prize at the Geneva Competition.
