Nilson Lombardi (January 3, 1926 – April 9, 2008) was a pianist, composer and Brazilian maestro with a vast contribution to the classical music in many countries. His compositions have also been interpreted in international recitals and recordings on disc by Eudoxia de Barros, Attilio Mastrogiovanni, Orlando Retroz, Beatriz Balzi, and others.
Lombarti was awarded the APCA prize of São Paulo Association of Art Critics of classical music lovers and artists influencing contemporary classical music in Brazil and abroad. Nilson Lombardi worked with Mozart Camargo Guarnieri (1907–1993), one of the most important contributors of Brazilian music. Lombardi was defined as a follower of the work of Guarnieri.
Nilson Lombardi's family made the donation collection of the composer at the Tatuí Musical Conservatory "Dr. Carlos Campos", the Conservatory of Tatuí. The collection includes about 600 items, including books, music, trophies, a typewriter, and every work of Nilson Lombardi.[1]
Singer and producer Marcia Mah released the book "Nilson Lombardi Complete Works" in 2002, published by TCM. It has 408 pages of biography and pieces for solo piano, voice and piano, chamber music, symphony orchestra and choral singing. The book was produced with funds from the Sorocaba Cultural Incentive Law and sent to all public music universities in the country.
