Piano playing with spirit
About
The mission of Piano Con Brio is to foster an environment in which music brings joy and connection to every occasion and every student.
Bolstered by a lifelong love of music and artistic expression, Ms. Welch continues to be amazed by the connection and meaning that music imparts. Bringing the piano to special occasions is a unique honor she embraces wholeheartedly, while teaching allows her to explore the full range of the instrument in practice — meeting the individual needs, aptitudes, and goals of each learner, whether beginning, intermediate, or an adult.
Through thoughtful interpretation, classically trained excellence, and sheer verve, students, instrumentalists, and lovers of music alike are accompanied by the piano and its infinite variety of expression.
Testimonials
“It was a pleasure to work with Maria in the Chamber Music Program at the University of Chicago. She is a graceful pianist with a lovely tone on the instrument. Thanks in significant part to her musicianship and her leadership, her piano quartet was one of the longest-standing and most successful ensembles in the program. As Director, I was so impressed with her skills that I asked her to coach several other groups in the program. As a coach, she was organized, disciplined, and encouraging, and helped the groups hit their stride. She is warm and caring while also setting a high standard for students she works with.”
Daniel Pesca, Associate Professor of Composition at Eastman School of Music
