In a warmly personal and evocative memoir, George Manos recounts
the highlights of his long and varied career as classical pianist,
conductor, composer, and teacher. Manos served as President Harry
S. Truman's personal pianist; performed at famed classical music
venues like the Bethlehem Bach Festival and the Tanglewood Music
Festival; served as music director at the National Gallery of Art
in Washington, D.C.; founded and conducted the Killarney Bach
Festival in Ireland; and taught at prestigious schools and
universities in and around Washington.
He performed with many of the leading musicians of the 20th
century, including acclaimed singers like Todd Duncan, Elena
Nikolaidi, and Katharine Hansel, and renowned composers and
conductors like Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Leopold
Stokowski, and Igor Stravinksy.
Manos also played for some of the century's top political
leaders: President Truman, his family, and inner circle, Eleanor
Roosevelt, Princess Elizabeth and Prince Charles and Princess Diana
of England, and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India. This book
will delight all who love music and who wish to learn more about
the personal and musical side of President Truman and of many of
the 20th century's greatest classical musicians.
