about

Oxana Yablonskaya (Russian: Оксана Михайловна Яблонская, born December 6, 1938) is a Russian pianist who has had an active international performance career since the early 1960s. She began her career in the USSR and, although winning several important competitions in the West, was denied by the Soviet government to accept any performance engagements outside of the Soviet block. Frusturated by her career limitations, she emigrated to the United States in 1977. Described by The New York Times as an "internationally known virtuoso" and "one of the county's most distinguished musical residents", Yablonskaya has toured in concert and recital throughout the world and has made numerous recordings. She was a member of the piano faculty at the Juilliard School until 2009 (where she taught for more than 30 years). Born in Moscow, Yablonskaya was a pupil of pianist Anaida Sumbatyan at the The Moscow Central School for the Gifted where she studied from the ages of six through sixteen. She then pursued further studies in her native city with Alexander Goldenweiser before entering the Moscow Conservatory where she was a student of Tatiana Nikolayeva. After graduating from the conservatory in 1962, she joined the school's piano faculty. She went on to win prizes in the Marguerite Long-Jacques Thibaud Competition in 1963 and the Vienna Beethoven Competition in 1969. Yablonskaya was invited to perform with orchestras and in concert halls in the West during the 1960s and 1970s. She also pe
