Jose Nicholas Francisco has been playing piano since he was six-years-old. Classically trained, he has worked for the past twelve years with a personal instructor who studied at the Juilliard School of Music. Although Jose has studied all periods of music-- from Baroque to Contemporary-- his favorite period both to study and perform is the Romantic period, as exemplified by his current, Chopin-dominant repertoire. Aside from his piano career, Jose is also a performing magician, a nationally ranked Extemporaneous Speaker, and a volunteer for Cleveland Clinic Florida. Jose is attending Stanford University in the fall.
