She grew up in the American Midwest.”

The New York Times recently described her as “The International First Lady of Piano.” Austrian National Television announces that she is “that rare musical phenomenon” and “one of the world’s most significant pianists.” Her prestigious invitations to perform in honor of the Liszt Bicentennial included Copenhagen’s Hungarian Embassy and Beijing’s Forbidden City Concert Hall. In recent seasons, she has performed as recitalist and orchestral soloist on six continents and in most of the 50 United States at venues including Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center in New York where her performances earned standing ovations from capacity crowds. Teresa Walters is known for her commitment to music as the ultimate universal language and for her vision of music as ministry. She is equally at home in the world’s major concert halls or in campus and community settings. In addition to maintaining an extensive international touring schedule, she continues a distinguished recording career with her recordings receiving nominations for the Grand Prix du Disque.”

In 2014, The New York Times proclaimed Walters as “The International First Lady of Piano.” She is described by Austrian National Television as “that rare musical phenomenon” and “one of the world’s most significant pianists.” Walters has dazzled audiences on six continents and most of the 50 United States at venues such as Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, Jerusalem’s Concert Hall, Australia’s International Conservatorium, Beijing’s Forbidden City Concert Hall and Moscow’s Great Hall.
