Nancy Feld and Wanda Coalson gave four-hand piano performances for more than 20 years, ranging from lecture recitals for professional piano teacher organizations to entertaining for the Opera Guild and the Wright-Patterson Foreign Liaison Officer’s Ball.
They met in the Music Department at Wright State where they were studying piano with Dr. Barbara Foster. In 2001, they were invited to perform in Bonn, Germany, and received outstanding newspaper reviews there. Coalson and Feld performed at Wright State for the Steinway Dedication Series to a sold-out audience, as well as at ARTSGALA.
Coalson presided as Beavercreek Piano Teachers chairman for the National Guild of Piano Teachers and was also a Guild adjudicator for more than 20 years before her death in 2008. Feld has performed on her harpsichord and fortepiano for the Dayton Bach Society, a Mozart Symposium sponsored by the Ohio Arts and Humanities Council, the Dayton Chamber Society and at the Dayton Art Institute. She has combined her degrees in art (’69 B.A., University of Iowa) and music to give lecture performances on impressionism.
