Carmen Morin is an award-winning concert pianist, educator, and arts entrepreneur. Beginning her studies with Dan Morin, she made her orchestral debut at age 10 before touring on behalf of the Canadian Embassy. She continued her advanced studies with Dmitry Nesterov (1992 Honens Laureate) and Marilyn Engle, and later won first prize at the Coimbra World Piano Duo Competition in Portugal.
