André Watts (born June 20, 1946) is a classical pianist and Professor at the Jacobs School of Music of Indiana University in Bloomington. Born in Nuremberg, Germany, Watts is the son of a Hungarian mother, Maria Alexandra Gusmits, and African-American father, Sargeant Herman Watts. After studying music in Philadelphia and conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra, he received a wider audience when he debuted in a nationally televised concert with the New York Philharmonic in 1963. His first world tour was in 1967. He is mostly associated with 19th century music.Watts grew up in Europe, living mostly near army posts where his father was stationed, until he was eight years old and Herman’s military assignment lead to the family moving to the United States. They settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Watts began to study the violin when he was four. By age six he had decided that the piano was his instrument. His mother, a pianist herself, started him with his first lessons.Like most kids, Watts hated to practice. To encourage him, Maria began to tell him stories of the great musicians from her country like pianist/composer Franz Liszt, making it clear that Liszt had practiced faithfully. Liszt would soon became Watts' hero, and he even adopted Liszt's theatrical playing style.In 1962, Herman and Maria divorced, and Watts stayed with his mother. He gives Maria credit for influencing his development. She supported the two of them working as a secretary and later as a receptionist.He enrolled at the Philadelphia Academy of Music, where he studied with Genia Robinor, Doris Bawden, and Clement Petrillo, graduating June 1963. He entered his first competition at nine, competing with 40 other kids for a chance to appear in the Philadelphia Orchestra's Children's Concerts. Watts won the competition playing a piano concerto by Joseph Haydn.At ten, Watts performed the Felix Mendelssohn G minor concerto with the Robin Hood Dell Orchestra and at 14, Cesar Franck's Symphonic Variations, again with the Philadelphia Orchestra. At 16, he auditioned at Carnegie Recital Hall. He played his hero Franz Liszt's E-flat Concerto at Lincoln Center with the New York Philharmonic, conducted by the celebrated Leonard Bernstein. A Young People's Concert was taped and shown on CBS, January 15, 1963. Bernstein introduced his pianist to the national television audience
