Jack Nossaman, twelve, is a pianist from Northern Virginia who has been playing for six years and studies with Anna Ouspenskaya at the Hunter Mill Music Studio. He enjoys a wide variety of music and is especially drawn to connecting with the emotion and character of a piece.
A First Prize winner of the NVMTA Piano Concerto Competition for three consecutive years, Jack has demonstrated both technical ability and natural musicality well beyond his years. In April 2026, he performed Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto No. 2 in D minor, Op. 40 as a featured solo pianist in the Sound Espressivo Gala Concert at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall.
Outside of piano, Jack spends a great deal of time on the baseball field with his Vienna-based teams, where he has earned All-Star recognition. He is competitive and enjoys the challenge, but has learned that, like piano, the biggest gains come from showing up each day, putting in the work, and trusting that small improvements add up over time.
Known for his curiosity and thoughtful nature, Jack is always eager to understand how things work. Away from the piano and the field, he enjoys basketball, reading, traveling, and connecting with people wherever he goes.
