Daniel Nazareth - Early Life

Early Life

Daniel Nazareth spent most of his childhood improvising day-dreams at the piano. He still does. Starting violin lessons at the age of 7 and leading his High School Orchestra (St. Mary's High School, Bombay, India) drew him into the magic of orchestral music making. 1969 he attained a Piano Licentiate at the Royal Schools of Music, London. He graduated at the Vienna Hochschule fuer Musik und Darstellende Kunst, Vienna, Austria, from the legendary Swarowsky/ Österreicher class with an Honors Diploma in Orchestral Conducting in 1975. Earlier, to appease parental concern, he graduated with an Honors Bachelor of Commerce and Economics degree from Bombay University, before qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 1971.

Famous quotes related to early life:

    Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...
    Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
