Lisa Thomas

Lisa Thomas graduated with a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in piano performance from the University of North Texas, May 14, 2010.  Her research and lecture recitals on American Classical Native Piano Repertoire and Indianist Piano Repertoire are awakening a new enthusiasm and interest in this music, which she has performed internationally in Varna, Bulgaria and Amalfi, Italy  and in America for numerous organizations including several music teacher associations, culminating in the Texas Music Teachers’ State Convention in Arlington, Texas (June 2010) and The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian and Kennedy Center Millennium Stage in Washington, D.C. (July 2010).  She has been especially devoted to this area of piano repertoire since her premiered new music of this category at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall (1995).
