TOM PIERSON picture
Thomas Claude Pierson Jr. was born in Ashland, Wisconsin, March 11, 1948. His parents Thomas Claude Pierson Sr. and Beth Polhemus Pierson both were violinists and teachers. Tom Jr. however studied the piano. By the time he was a teenager he wanted to be a classical soloist. At the age of 13 he played the 1st mvt of Mozart K414 with the Houston Symphony.
