About the Artist:
Elizabeth Borowsky has performed as a soloist in such distinguished venues as Carnegie Hall (New York), Boesendorfer Hall (Vienna), the Beethoven House (Bonn), Strathmore Hall (Bethesda, MD), and the Kennedy Center (Washington D.C.). She has taken part in such prestigious festivals as the International Festival of Music and Architecture in Torun (2004); Klavierwoche International (2004), Heidelberg Klavierwoche (1998 and 2006), Music at the Paderewski Manor (2001), the Maryland Arts Festival (2001), and the International Music Institute and Festival USA (annually since 2003). She has performed as a soloist with orchestras, her performances have been broadcast live on TV and radio programs, and she has recorded several CDs of solo and chamber music works for ICRecords (Pearls of Music, Musical Favorites of All Times, Music for Peace, and Chopin Recital).
She has received numerous awards and prizes, including the Kosciuszko Foundation Graduate Scholarship, International Young Artists Award, International Music Talent Award, the Heidelberg Grand Prix, Best '99 CD Prize (for "Pearls of Music"), Pro Sinfonika Award for Promoting Classical Music Among Youth (Poland),Chopin Foundation of the United States Scholarship for Young Pianists (four times; 2000-2003), Merit Award from the U. S. National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts (2001), and the Cultural Achievement Award from the Middle East Consortium of the International Friends of Music. She has been a laureate and finalist of music competitions in the USA and abroad. In 2006, she was among the competitors accepted to the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw. The Polish recording label Acte Preable presented her with a special prize for her interpretations of Chopin, and she recorded a CD of Chopin's music while in Poland (Chopin Recital, ICRecords 2006).
Elizabeth hails from an exceptionally musical family. Her mother is a cellist and professor and her father has used music as a tool in pursuing international relations. She frequently performs together with her brother (violinist Emmanuel Borowsky) and sister (cellist Frances Grace Borowsky). Together, they are called The Young American Virtuosi. In 2004, they were awarded the Erick Friedman Prize for Outstanding Young Musicians and performed a New York debut recital at Carnegie Hall. Most recently, they toured Europe for six weeks and were invited by the Heidelberg Arts Council to be Artists-In-Residence at the Dilsberg Castle.
Elizabeth has been mentored by renowned pianists and teachers including Andrzej Jasinski, Ann Schein, Ward Davenny, Krystian Zimerman, Leon Fleisher, Veronika Jochum, Piotr Paleczny, Maria Kolakowska-Schweiger, and Joanna Lawrynowicz. In the Spring of 2004, she was the recipient of a scholarship from the Maryland International Education Association for studies with Yonty Solomon at Trinity College of Music (London). In March 2005, she graduated summa cum laude from Towson University with a Bachelor's of Music degree, having studied under the guidance of Reynaldo Reyes. She is currently pursuing a Master's Degree at Indiana University Bloomington with Arnaldo Cohen, where she is also an Assistant Instructor of piano.
