DMITRY RACHMANOV

Pianist Dmitry Rachmanov has garnered acclaim for his passionate performances and refined musicianship. Hailed as an "indisputable musician" by the Brussels' Le Soir and "suave and gifted pianist by the New York Times, Rachmanov has appeared at venues such as New York's Carnegie Hall, Washington DC's Kennedy Center, London's South Bank Centre, and Beijing Concert Hall, and has collaborated with Ukraine National Symphony, National Orchestra of Porto and Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra. He has recorded for Naxos, Navona and Vista Vera labels. A proponent of the Russian repertoire, he gave the US premiere of Boris Pasternak's Piano Sonata, broadcast by the NPR, and his recital "The Art of the 19th Century Russian Character Piece" was noted by the New York Times for "considerable color and focus" he brought to each work. A founding member of the Scriabin Society of America, Rachmanov has given recitals featuring the music of Scriabin in commemoration of the composers memorial centennial (1915-2015), including appearances in Moscow, Paris, Budapest, Beijing & Shanghai. His recital at Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall was called indeed a poem of ecstasy in every sense: giant in conception, quantity, quality, execution, thoughtfulness, and sensitivity by the New York Concert Review.

Dr. Rachmanov is a graduate of The Juilliard School and he holds the DMA from Manhattan School of Music. He is Professor of Piano at California State University, Northridge, where he serves as Chair of Keyboard Studies. A sought-after master class clinician, Rachmanov is a frequent adjudicator at competitions in the US and abroad.
