about

Eugen Indjic (born March 11, 1947 in Belgrade) is a French-American pianist. y[edit]His father was an army general under King Peter II of Yugoslavia. Emigrating to the United States with his Russian mother, an amateur pianist, at the age of four, he there became fascinated by the piano four years later after hearing a recording of Chopin’s Fantaisie-Impromptu and Polonaise in A flat major. Moved by a desire to master these pieces, he took systematic piano lessons with Georgian pianist, Liubov Stephani. Eugen Indjic made his first public performance at the age of nine, appearing with the Springfield, Mass. Youth Orchestra in Mozart’s D-minor Piano Concerto. After two years, Mrs. Stephani introduced her young pupil to Alexander Borovsky, the eminent Russian pianist, pupil of Anna Yesipova and classmate of Serge Prokofiev, who taught him in Boston University for the next five years (1959–1964). At the age of 11, he was already playing Liszt’s Campanella and Hungarian Rhapsody No. 13 on NBC television and at 12, made his first recording for RCA Victor on Rachmaninov’s own piano, playing Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations. At 13, he performed Liszt’s Piano Concerto in E flat major and a year later the Brahms' Piano Concerto n°2 with the Washington National Symphony Orchestra. Between 1961 and 1969, invited by Arthur Fiedler, Eugen Indjic appeared numerous times each season with the Boston Pops Orchestra. His first concert tour (consisting of 13 concerts) was in Denmark (1963), togeth
