American classical pianist
Grant Johannesen (July 30, 1921 – March 27, 2005) was an American concert pianist.[1] He was born in Salt Lake City and discovered at the age of five by a teacher who lived across the street. He imitated whatever he heard her play, and she did not appreciate it. He studied with Robert Casadesus, Egon Petri, Roger Sessions, and Nadia Boulanger. He made his Manhattan recital debut when he was 23, and won the Concours International when he was 28. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Grant+Johannesen
