About the artist
Roman Rudnytsky is an internationally active concert pianist of Ukrainian background whose frequent performances take him all over the world — to every continent and places in-between.
In addition to performances in capital cities and important musical centers, he often plays in places away from the musical mainstream, bringing the world and pleasure of classical music to audiences which seldom experience this type of music in live performance. He has received much acclaim in the world’s press and many repeat invitations.
A graduate of the famous Juilliard School in New York, he also did additional studies at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Maryland and in master classes in Austria (the “Mozarteum”) and Italy.
Since 1972, Rudnytsky has been a member of the piano faculty of the Dana School of Music at Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio. He is a recipient of that institution’s Distinguished Professor Award in recognition of his concert activities. He previously served on the piano faculties of the Indiana University School of Music (Bloomington, Indiana) and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory, in addition to being “Artist-in-Residence” at two Australian universities.
This is Rudnytsky’s 14th trip to the CNMI. The Friends of the Arts, with the help of sponsors from the community, have hosted his stay.
