ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Classical pianist Irina Nuzova "rises above mere virtuosity" (Washington Post) in her thoughtful rendition of the classical repertoire. As soloist and chamber music partner she distinguishes herself for her "intensity of feeling" (La Nazione, Florence, Italy) and "profound interpretation" (Strad, London).
Irina Nuzova has performed in the United States, Europe, and South America. She has appeared at the prestigious Amici della Musica Concert Series in Florence; Teatro Massima in Catania, Italy; in Russia at the Hermitage State Museum in St. Petersburg and at the Moscow Conservatory; in the U.S. at the Phillips Collection Gallery in Washington DC, at the Bar Harbor Music Festival in Maine, the Kosciuszko Foundation in New York, the Rhode Island Chamber Music Concert Series, Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concert Series at the Chicago Cultural Center, and at the University of Maine at Augusta.
Ms. Nuzova has won top prizes as piano soloist and as chamber ensemble pianist in international competitions such as the Vincenzo Bellini and Citta di Senigallia International Competitions in Italy, the coveted Bruce Hungerford Award at the Young Concert Artist Auditions in New York, and the Beethoven Piano Sonata International Competition in Memphis, Tennessee. As member of a piano-cello ensemble she won prizes at the Vittorio Gui and the Premio Trio di Trieste International Chamber Music Competitions in Italy. Her performances were broadcast live on WFMT in Chicago, WGBH in Boston, and Italian TV.
A native of Moscow, Ms. Nuzova made her debut with the Omsk Philharmonic at the age of 14. Before moving to the United States she studied at the Gnessin Academy of Music under the guidance of Alexander Satz. She completed her musical education at Manhattan School of Music with Lev Natochenny, and at the Juilliard School of Music in New York, where her teachers were Oxana Yablonskaya and Jerome Lowenthal. Ms. Nuzova is maintaining her studies with renowned French pianist Jean-Bernard Pommier.
