About the Artist
Award-winning American pianist Yuliya Gorenman has been rightfully called “a pianist without fear.” Now firmly established in her performing career, Gorenman first achieved international acclaim as a prizewinner of the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Competition in Belgium. Since then, she has been continually invited to perform solo, chamber, and orchestral concerts throughout the world, earning consistent praise for her artistic fire, extraordinary virtuosity, and the depth of her interpretations.
Born in Odessa, Ukraine, and raised in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Gorenman began studying with her mother, Svetlana Gorenman, an outstanding musician in her own right. Gorenman continued to shape her performance style while attending the St. Petersburg Conservatory. After immigrating to the United States, she studied first at the San Francisco Conservatory and at the Peabody Conservatory with mentors such as Nathan Schwartz and Leon Fleischer. Schooled in two musical traditions, but wholly defined by neither, Gorenman has drawn on both heritages in performances of the masterworks of the baroque, classical, romantic, and contemporary repertoire that continue to stir audiences around the world.
