The Dranoff Inter­na­tional Two Piano Foun­dation Reports Continued Growth and Adds More Board Members

Miami, FL (PRWEB) October 7, 2010

Nina Cohen is the embod­iment of an effective networker and creative thinker. The past 5 years have estab­lished her repu­tation as a successful marketing consultant and strategic planner to a number of high profile clients in South Florida, such as the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, Miami Inter­na­tional Airport and the Yachts of Seabourn.

Prior to becoming a full-time consultant, Nina was a successful corporate exec­utive holding senior posi­tions with a number of inter­na­tional companies: BBDO Inter­na­tional, Costa Cruises, Disney Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line and Miami Air International.

A common thread found throughout Nina’s back­ground and life in South Florida has been her love of music. It is this musical passion that has led her to the Dranoff orga­ni­zation where she joins the effort to create a vibrant interest in the inter­na­tional compe­tition and duo pianism in all its expressions.

Despite her work with “big names” — Chicago Symphony Orchestra with Daniel Barenboim, the Pitts­burgh Symphony with Mariss Jansons, and Yo-Yo Ma — Rise Kern is deeply inter­ested in furthering new talent and creating perfor­mance oppor­tu­nities. This is the nexus with Dranoff since the Inter­na­tional Two Piano Compe­tition is all about new talent. We are very excited to have Rise develop a Latin American tour and other concert oppor­tu­nities for our winners and laureates.

Almost 5 years with Columbia Artist Management and over 20 years with ICM Artist in New York have taken Rise Kern into every aspect of the world of talent repre­sen­tation, tour management and concert production: over­seeing the production of selected touring attrac­tions in the US and Latin America of major European and US orchestral ensembles, liaison with artists, foreign managers and venues, ensuring account­ability and tour prof­itability; placing artist in commer­cials and television.

Her personal interests in music and languages are further indi­cation just how authen­ti­cally Rise lives her commitment to the arts.

The Dranoff Inter­na­tional Two Piano Foun­dation is the presenter of the pres­ti­gious Inter­na­tional Two Piano Compe­tition since 1986. Its mission is to give a perfor­mance platform to profes­sional duo pianists, to broaden interest and patronage of this art form, and to contribute to the reper­toire by commis­sioning new works from contem­porary composers. It is a Steinway & Sons compe­tition, and it is accredited by the World Feder­ation of Inter­na­tional Music Compe­ti­tions in Geneva.
