Veronica Nies

As the eldest of eight children, Veronica began her musical training early with piano lessons at the College Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati (CCM). In the following years, she added the study of violin, cello, organ, jazz piano, and voice.

​

She has won and placed in various piano competitions, and her versatility has led her to collaborate in many different types of ensembles and genres: traditional folk, orchestra, piano trios, quartets, jazz trios, jazz band, chapel choir, and acapella groups.

​

In 2013 she began studying at the Julien Gerstmans Académie de Music in Hannut, Belgium, where she completed the highest level of music theory training and continued her instrumental and ensemble lessons. In 2016 (at the age of 15), she was the youngest person in history to be accepted into the Jeune Talent Program at the Conservatoire Royal de Liège for piano performance. The following year she became the youngest-ever organ performance student in the same Jeune Talent program, and the first to study in two disciplines simultaneously. In 2018 Veronica began teaching piano, composing and arranging, and in 2019 she began freelance songwriting
