Catherine Nolin

"Meet Valerie Puglisi She`s an Italian American concert pianist who came to love and live in Manhattan 1994. She comes from a long list of family musicians. Her Uncle Salvatore is the much beloved Italian Maestro in Venice who inspired her love of music as a child. Her parents were avid art collectors and she grew up playing beneath large gold framed carved Matisse and Picasso paintings. Although she has yet to marry, the prospects haven`t been good in the big apple. The demanding hours of her career make it next to impossible to have a social life anyway. Her trusted companion and music critic, Francis is always there. You can find her any evening studying her compositions before a performance."
