Peter Nero

Lifelong fan of the maestro. Attended his performances way back when at ISU University, The Saber Room, and the St. Louis arts festival. Met him backstage at all of these performances. Sat within 3 feet of him at The Saber Room during his performance. Even shared a breakfast with him at the Holiday Inn in St. Louis following his performance there. His amazing talent will endure throughout the ages.

RIP, Peter. You probably never knew the joy you brought to your audiences - and you may not have cared because I could see that your music transported you to another world.

I loved to go the Philly Pops with my Mom. My best memories are with her and your Dad. He was a wonderful man. Thank you for sharing him with so many people. ❤

A very special and wonderful pianist and musician. Will be greatly missed.

My condolences.

Peter performed with my dad's orchestra in Washington DC at the SHOREHAM hotel in the sixties. I knew him in Philadelphia where I performed at the Barclay hotel. He was a giving artist that inspired my piano playing professionally for years. Every arrangement he did on the piano of every song of his many albums were concepts that shaped me musically. His chord choices and playing were what inspired me to practice long hours.) He was a musical encyclopedia of knowledge who taught us popular music from the concept of a classical concert pianist mind. He was amazing to watch in his performances. You could name the song and I knew which album it was from of his. Many times we talked I told him about his practice methods while watching TV. He said that there was a saying that do as I say and do as I do were two different things practice wise. Knowing the piano as well as he did he could do that. He will be forever missed as a fantastic pianist and mentor to me.

You will be remembered in the music world.

I offer my sincere condolences to the family of Peter Nero. May God give your family comfort and peace as you mourn his loss.

A brilliant conductor, his amazing performances were always a joy to watch for so many years. Prayers for the Nero family, may God give the needed comfort and strength to help you to endure this very difficult time of your loss.

Terrific musician and conductor, who had the coolest looking chin whiskers!

Sad to know the passing of Mr Peter Nero. He's a a wonderful employer and have a sense of humor. Mr. Nero, thank you for your kindness and trust shared to me. You may rest in peace. You will be missed but you will be in my prayer. ❤

Was one of the best pianists of all time.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
