New York, NY — Internationally acclaimed pianist and composer Nic Patterson, hailed by critics and audiences alike as one of the greatest pianists of our time, will present the world premiere of his latest solo piano composition, Memories of the Forsaken, on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at the prestigious Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. This much-anticipated performance will feature Patterson in collaboration with Orchestra Manhattan, as he continues to rise as one of the most compelling and visionary voices in contemporary classical music.Represented by Jack Price of Price Attractions, Patterson has become a household name in the classical world, known for his emotionally resonant performances and trailblazing compositions. He first made headlines at Carnegie Hall in 2024 with Walk Out of Darkness, a sold-out solo recital that left audiences in awe and cemented his position as a major figure in modern piano music. His bold yet sensitive playing style and commitment to storytelling through sound have earned him wide-ranging acclaim. Vivid Seats named him the “World’s Best Classical Pianist, Hands Down,” a rare honor and a testament to his global impact.
Memories of the Forsaken promises to take audiences on a profound and introspective journey. Drawing inspiration from forgotten lives and silent stories, the work serves as a tribute and a meditation on remembrance. “This piece carries the voices of those the world has forgotten,” Patterson shares. “It’s a reminder that beauty and hope are never truly lost—only waiting to be rediscovered. Through music, we can restore dignity and illuminate what has been hidden in the shadows.”
Patterson’s creative influence extends far beyond the concert stage. He is the #1 bestselling co-author of The Art of Encouragement, a book that has empowered thousands with its message of perseverance, purpose, and the transformative power of belief. He is also the author of Late Start, Strong Finish: The Adult’s Guide to Piano Mastery, which has become an Amazon top-ranked guide for adult learners seeking to begin or renew their musical journey. His work resonates not only with aspiring pianists but also with dreamers, late bloomers, and anyone determined to defy expectations.
Following the Carnegie premiere, Patterson will release his newest book, Deeply Planted, on May 1, 2025—the very next day. As the second volume in the Art of Encouragement series, this title continues to build on his mission to inspire, uplift, and equip readers to thrive regardless of age, background, or circumstance.
With a flourishing international presence, a rapidly expanding repertoire, and a message rooted in hope and humanity, Nic Patterson is more than a virtuoso—he is a voice for the voiceless and a symbol of what’s possible when talent meets vision and heart.
