Nilson Lombardi was born in Sorocaba on January 3, 1926, standing out as a renowned Brazilian pianist, composer, and conductor. His career was marked by a deep dedication to classical music, leaving a legacy of compositions that gained projection both in Brazil and abroad through recitals and record recordings.
