Mary Nerren

Mary Elizabeth Nerren is a junior piano performance major from Johnson City, Tennessee. She is part of Lee Singers, violinist in the Symphony Orchestra, student worker, and student accompanist, as well as being a member of Phi Eta Sigma. Mary participated in the Lee University International Piano Festival and Competition as a junior in high school, and, according to her, “I was impressed with the piano faculty and their genuine enthusiasm. It made Lee stand out from the other schools I applied to.” She says some of her best moments at Lee stem from being around great people. “Auditioning for the Lee Singers was the best decision I have made at Lee so far. Traveling with this ensemble has given me some of the best times of my life, and I have had amazing worship experiences alongside the friends that have become like family to me.” After graduation, Mary plans to pursue a master's degree in either music or a physician’s assistant school.
