Teresa Sterne (also known as Teresa Rosenbaum and Tracey Sterne) (29 March 1927 - 10 December 2000) was an American concert pianist and record producer. Sterne's performance career began at the age of 12 when she appeared with both the NBC Symphony and New York Philharmonic Symphony. After setting her performance career aside, she served as director of Nonesuch Records from 1965 through 1979.

Early Life

Sterne was born in Brooklyn to an already musical family. Her mother was a professional cellist who quit her career to advance her daughter's musical development. Sterne's paternal uncle was a distinguished violinist who also helped develop her talents.[1] She showed musical talent at an early age and was taken out of school at the age of 10 to be privately tutored and focus on the piano.[2]
