UW Guest Artist Master Class: Lydia Artymiw, piano

Philadelphia-based concert pianist Lydia Artymiw has emerged as one of the most compelling and individual pianists of her generation. She performs a recital on Nov. 9 and leads a master class with UW piano students on Nov. 10

“Lydia Artymiw has such a satisfying musical soul; she is a pleasure to hear,” wrote Bernard Holland in a recent New York Times review.

The recipient of both an Avery Fisher Career Grant and the Andrew Wolf Chamber Music Prize, Artymiw is the Distinguished McKnight Professor of Piano at the University of Minnesota where she has taught since 1989. In 2015 she was awarded the University of Minnesota’s Excellence in Graduate and Professional Teaching Award, and she also received the “Dean’s Medal” for Outstanding Professor in 2000.
