Hi Nicole -
I am good friends with Arlene - we just helped her with the recording of 2 of her songs so she can mail them out - So nice of you to get all the info together for her, she is so excited! Come out for a visit sometime - we could still hook you up with some house concerts! Best Regards - Lori

Never in my life have I heard such talent for playing the piano! An instrument that I've always wanted to learn, but never really did. I was lucky enough to hear about you from my brother who lives in Phoenix and had dinner at My Florist Cafe, where fortunately you were playing that evening. After leaving the restaurant and not purchasing your CDs, I kick myself and wonder why I didn't. Hopefully I will be able to buy them through your website.
If you come to Palm Springs to show off your playing talent, you will surely be a hit. I will even work on finding a venue for you!
Take good care and thanks for sharing your love of the piano.

Nicole,
I can't get enough of your beautiful music! Every time I hear you, it brings tears to my eyes. You're the best pianist I've ever heard. You truly are a female Liberace! I tell everyone I know they MUST go and hear you. You're simply amazing. We in Phoenix are SO LUCKY to have you!!
Most sincerely,
Bobby Van

Hi Nicole,
You have an amazing talent! I have never heard anyone play the piano with so much passion and tenderness in my life. You put Billy Joel and Elton John to shame.
You covered every genre from Rock, Pop, Jazz, Country, Classical and Oldies. This was an enchanting evening. I am stunned and mesmerized by how you are able to play three parts with two hands. You have the bass notes playing in the lower octave, the melody line in the middle keys, while you are improvising counter melodies and riffs on the upper registers.
You are truly a one-man band. I would not have believed this could be humanly possible until I watched your performance tonight. You are blessed with a special gift to pull this off night after night playing 4 hours non-stop at breakneck speed with clocklike precision.
Anyone who gets the privilege to watch you play will feel inspired. Your music helps to transcend ones soul to a higher plane and bring joy and happiness. This is the essence of life.
Thank you for the music. You can make magic!

Nicole plays with such feeling, not just the precision and flawless music regardless of the difficulty, the incredible range of music, a true Virtuoso!!
Classic, Pop, Rock, Jazz, Broadway, Latin.
I ask her about Raul Diblasio (a fantastic pianist from Argentina), she knew his music and immediately played one of his trade songs, if not just like him perhaps even BETTER....She is Awesome!!.

I had the priviledge to enjoy your music at My Florist last night. You are a rare phenomenon! The music was exquisite, uplifting and captivating! Thank you so much. One of your photos suggests you may play in schools, is that right?

Nicole,
I've been able to enjoy your live performances twice at My Florist in Phoenix and continue to tell all my friends about your phenomenal talent! It's wonderful to watch you as you play and bring joy and life to the music that you share with us! I already wish I had bought BOTH your CDs but that gives me an excuse to come back and see you again for the second one.

Nicole, I have been to hear you play about 5 times and would be there every night if possible. You truly amaze me and all those that listen and watch your tireless fingers "tickle the ivory" for hours. Your repertoire is endless and I always leave wanting to hear more. What a special talent and person you are! Looking forward to your CD.

Thank you so much for an evening of memories. We brought our daughters for a "special" night out. They are ages 10,8,6 and you blew them away...especially my little one who just loves Elvis. In their words "you rock!"

Nicole,
I was blown away and so pleased with your playing talent and the fact that you play everything and without sheet music! WOW is the word when I recall your non-stop performance last night. I absolutley love people I come across, who can do the seemingly impossible because of their great gift of talent. You are one of those rare kind of people. Thank you so much for such a wonderful evening at My Florist. What better gift can I give my Mom, but to bring her there for Mother's Day to meet and listen to you play. So we will see you soon, and I sure you will have another fan that day! Thanks again.

We have the same name! It is so nice to share a name with someone so talented! People think I'm you all the time which is kindof funny. I have to tell them that I have no musical abilities whatsoever. But I am quite amazing at debate! I am president of my schools debate club. Anyways gotta run...

You are a huge talent.
I can't understand, with the list of names in your bio, why more has not developed for you.
There are very few pianists who can keep an audience's attention without any other means than their piano. Brava!

Congratulations Nicole! It's so fun to see this site up and running! Cecil Taylor once said, "To me, the piano in itself is an orchestra." He could not have fully understood the truth of that statement until he had heard Nicold Pesce on the piano! When your hands touch the keys of a piano, I feel I am in a wonderland of sound and song! I believe you are the best pianist I will ever know. I feel so blessed to know you and call you friend. Your music is dearly loved - but so, my friend, are YOU!!
