Marina Lomazov

Praised by critics as “a diva of the piano” (The Salt Lake City Tribune), “a mesmerizing risk-taker” (The Plain Dealer, Cleveland), and “simply spectacular” (Chicago International Music Foundation) Ukrainian-American pianist Marina Lomazov has established herself as one of the most passionate and charismatic performers on the concert scene today.  New York Times chief music critic Anthony Tommasini describes a recent New York performance as “dazzling” and Talk Magazine Shanghai describes her performances as “a dramatic blend of boldness and wit”.

Following major prizes in the Cleveland International Piano Competition, William Kapell International Piano Competition, Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition, and Hilton Head International Piano Competition, Lomazov has given performances throughout North America, South America, China, South Korea, Japan, England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Russia, and in nearly all of the fifty states in the U.S. She has given major debuts in New York (Weill-Carnegie Hall) Boston (Symphony Hall), Chicago (Dame Myra Hess Concert Series), Los Angeles (Museum of Art), Shanghai (City Theater) and Kiev (Kiev International Music Festival), including performances with the Boston Pops and Rochester Philharmonic among dozens of orchestras.

In recent seasons, Lomazov has performed... continue to full bio.

Lomazov’s performance was a winning combination of vitality, technique and artistry. Her vigorous playing actually seemed almost effortless at times, her fingers shimmering over the keyboard and coaxing cascades of sound… It was simply the best piano playing I have ever witnessed.” ~ Phil Melita, The State
