Meet Arthur Nobile, Jr.


Arthur Nobile, Jr. is a liturgist, philanthropist, artist, environmentalist and scholar. He has been hailed "a musical virtuoso and icon of organ improvisation."

His affiliation with organist, Diane Bish commenced a life-long commitment to playing the organ. He graduated with honors from Seton Hill University, Greensburg, Pa., in 1997 after completing a self-designed major in Not-for-Profit Administration/Development and Philanthropic Giving along with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Art History. Since that time he has continued his education throughout Europe and has performed throughout the world.

In 2005 he dedicated the organ of The Cathedral of Notre Dame, Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam before an audience of 2500, the largest gathering for an organ concert.


In 2010 he founded Nobilare, LLC, a type of holding corporation for natural gas rights as well as the managing corporation for Mr. Nobile's musical endeavors.

He lives in south Florida and is a native of western Pennsylvania, Greensburg, Pennsylvania, a town 35 miles east of Pittsburgh.

Mr. Nobile's family was actively involved in the development of commercial and residential properties by way of his father's corporation, Lago de Vita, Inc. and A. Nobile Enterprises, Inc. Because of this, Arthur was schooled for 3 months each year during his early education in Rancho Mirage , California, Palm Desert, Indian Wells Later this would lead to an interest in television networks such as NBC and Carson Productions, Inc., the agency which produced "The Tonight Show with Johny Carson" and one that has had a tremendous effect on Mr. Nobile.

After 24 years as a church musician, Arthur has decided to use his own philanthropy to celebrate the goodness of humanity and serve those who do not have as much. These blogs are intended to support Arthur's continued interest in Liturgy.

Right before Palm Sunday

Well, the days of Lent are coming to a close, liturgically speaking. I have to say it was a good Lent.

The Resurrection of Christ is reflected in each and every moment in which good is felt. The Life of The Resurrection is found in the trust that our faith enables hope to come about wherein embarks a voyage in which love can sail under the wings of the spirit which provides lift to our souls. We are called to keep this place within our inner most self a clear one -- safe a ready to serve others -- "to serve, not to reign." Bishop Anthony G. Bosco should be pleased. It's good to know that it's all about "a journey of a lifetime."

In just a few weeks, I will be returning to my hometown, Greensburg, PA, where I am going to play a concert at Seton Hill University. I am looking forward to performing on the organ in the Chapel of St. Joseph, adjacent to the Administration Building on The Campus atop this town , the town of the County Seat of Westmoreland -- a very different and unique place, indeed -- good people.

I will keep you posted about this concert at which I intend to draw the audience's attention to the good work of The University, its President, JoAnne Boyle, Ph.D, the art of creativity, philanthropy and awareness to behavior health and mental health support with the community-at-large.

Philanthropy

This is a continuation of my previous blog site "On the Journey of a Lifetime with Arthur Nobile, Jr." I look forward to sharing with you exciting stories about the blessings I am able to say made me into the person I grown to become. Without question, I am fortunate. I encourage others who have been given much, such as myself, to give to those who do not have as much. So, these columns are more about others than about me and while they are obviously from my perspective, I am aware that philanthropy is all about the love of people -- everyone, no matter who they are.

I invite your comments and look forward to journeying with you on this earthly pilgrimage.

Chaucer would be most pleased.
