Twenty-one year old pianist Missa Haas, is from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This 2002 Panasonic Young Soloist Award recipient is a senior at the University of Pittsburgh and has recently been nominated "Outstanding Student of the Year."

In addition to continuing her musical studies, she hopes to increase the quality of life for people with disabilities and terminal illnesses through music.
