Elizabeth Pridonoff
Piano

Elizabeth Pridonoff is one of the most communicative pianists performing today and has been described by critics as possessing a "grand, flowing style" and "natural musicianship, a brilliant technique, beautiful tone and self-assurance." Boston critic Tim Riley wrote in The Tab, "Elizabeth Pridonoff played the piano like she was telling stories-involving herself and, through her, the listener." Her performance on the Xavier Piano Series in Cincinnati in November of 2003 elicited the following from the Cincinnati Enquirer; "From the transparent clarity of Bach to the mountainous terrain of Rachmaninoff, the pianist was in full control of the music and the instrument, revealing a combination of musical poetry and finesse, as well as dazzling technique that is rare in pianists today."

A graduate of the Juilliard School, she holds masters degrees in both piano and voice having studied piano with Sasha Gorodnitsky and Adele Marcus, and voice with Anna Kaskas and Hans Heinz. Her students have won first prize in the Horowitz, Missouri Southern, American Pianists Association Biennial Fellowship Auditions, and the Pinault international piano competitions to name a few.

Professor of Piano and Duo-in-Residence with her husband Eugene Pridonoff at the University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music, Elizabeth Pridonoff was on the faculty of the International Institute for Young Musicians from 1999-2004 and has been on the faculty of International Piano Week in Belgium since 2001.

She was appointed an International Steinway Artist in March of 2004.
