Claudette Sorel (10 October 1932 – 6 August 1999) was a French-American pianist and educator.
She emigrated to the United States with her family in 1940 prior to the Nazi invasion of France.
[2] A reviewer in The New York Times wrote that "a child capable of so polished and eloquent an example of pianism has a future worth watching".
This was her last public recital – the following year she was injured in a fall on an ice-covered sidewalk and quit performing.
[3] At SUNY she chaired the piano department and was the first woman to be named a Distinguished Professor at the institution.
