Jacqueline Hairston

A Lifelong Passion

Jacqueline Hairston is an accomplished pianist and composer and continues living out her dreams to this day. She has been passionate about music for as long as she can remember and as a young girl,  would drum her fingers along the kitchen table, pretending to play the piano. Her parents quickly noticed and she began piano lessons. Her passion never waned and her impressive talents earned her an invitation to perform at world-renowned Carnegie Hall.

Jacqueline enjoys sharing her gift with others to this day and stated “I get the greatest satisfaction playing for whomever. It could be one person, it could be a whole room full of people, it doesn’t matter.”
