This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Early Years and Education

She was later admitted to the Paris Conservatory and became the first Middle-Eastern woman to earn First Prize in the piano competition in 1984. She spent several years touring and giving concerts throughout Europe, but then completed further studies at the Banff Center in Canada. She also continued her education at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN.

She has appeared as a soloist with the Louisville Orchestra, Lakeside Symphony, Lebanese National Philharmonic, Belgrade Chamber Orchestra, Dayton Arts Institute, Eastman School of Music, Salzburg Festival, and Montpellier Festival.
