Nancy Shear has had music surround her all her life. Her memoir "I Knew a Man Who Knew Brahms" portrays an incredible life where, at a young age, she would sneak into concerts featuring the Philadelphia Orchestra through the stage door, knowing she couldn't afford the ticket price. The deep love she carried for both the music and atmosphere would result in a career as an orchestra librarian, as well as private work for Leopold Stokowski, Lorin Maazel, and others, and ultimately her own public relations and event production agency for the performing arts.www.nancyshear.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
