Audience attendee's the morning after the concert while eating breakfast, ask each other if they had gone to the "Michael Nelson Concert". The response was "he was marvelous, he was wonderful.  Another woman said, "my daughter came with me and was so impressed by the quality of the performer".  A husband and wife who are Symphony goers, told me on the way out of the concert that "he was very talented" and they had never heard the piano "sound that good".

Wow what a show!  At times it sounded like you had at least four pairs of hands on that piano.  I haven't heard music like that since I left New York City!   Please come back to Chicago.

​Michael Nelson is a wonderful performer.  He really connects with his audience.   I have had many people say to me after he has performed “When will Michael be back?”. One of our residents who has a CD of Michaels music says... “His music is so beautiful I could listen to it all day long.”  
Michael is very friendly, prompt and always calls the day of the performance to let us know he will be there.   His one hour concert keeps everyone's attention throughout the entire performance.  We can’t thank Michael enough for the beautiful music he shares with everyone."

"Michael plays the piano effortlessly.   He knows a wide variety of music and mixes up his show with brief commentary about the song or artist.  If you are lucky enough to get an opportunity, I highly recommend booking him for your next event".

La Siena loved Michael Nelsons performance on Valentine's Day.  The next day many people made a point of coming up to my office to say how much they enjoyed his performance.  In fact, one resident shared with me that he was tired and wasn't going to attend. 

 Afterwards he said how happy he was that he had made it to the show because he really loved it!

Michael is definitely a pianist to inspire and delight!  Our audience was amazed at the remarkable talent Michael possess on the piano keys.  He not only plays, but also interacts with his audience, keeping their attention throughout his concert.  He plays a variety of classics, soft and loud, gentle and boisterous which adds to the enjoyment of his concert.  We very much look forward to him returning soon.

Michael Nelson's performance was a joy to enjoy.  He was personable in his presentations, yet dignified; and was greatly talented, but not a "showboat".  Any stage would be honored by his presence and also by his gifts, which are many.
