 Pianist
Juliana Osinchuk is one of today's most versatile artists
performing internationally to great critical acclaim since
age eleven when she made a surprise debut in Carnegie Recital
Hall performing Beethoven’s Sonata op. 10 # 1 to rave
reviews. She has continued to dazzle audiences and critics
from Alaska to New York to Washington, D.C., from London to
Amsterdam, and from Germany to Ukraine. The Los Angeles
Times wrote about her “superior technique, discipline
and talent” and The Washington Post called her
recent recital “spectacular.“ After her formal
recital debut at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, Musical
America selected her as a "Young Artist to Watch.”
Among
Juliana’s teachers were Nadia Boulanger, Rosina Lhevinne,
and Nadia Reisenberg, and she received her formal education
from the Conservatoire de Musique in Paris and the Juilliard
School where she graduated with a bachelor’s, master’s
and doctor of musical arts degrees.
As
a champion of American composers, Dr. Osinchuk has premiered
numerous works. In 1995, she was a recipient of a solo recitalist
grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, and presented
solo recitals at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., New
York City, and Seattle featuring works of three Alaska composers:
John Luther Adams, Craig Coray and Philip Munger. She gave
the European premiere of Lowell Liebermann’s 2nd
Piano Concerto at the Kyiv Contemporary Music Fest, and
received rave reviews from critics and audience alike for
her performance of the world premiere of Philip Munger’s
Piano Concerto with the Anchorage Symphony.
Her
orchestral engagements include performances with symphony
orchestras across the United States and Europe, including
the Tucson, Sacramento, and Northwest Chicago Symphony Orchestras.
Juliana is a much sought after chamber pianist, who has collaborated
with such artists such as Ruggiero Ricci, Daniel Heifetz,
Nathaniel Rosen, and Maria Chaikovska. Osinchuk’s recordings
include Tchaikovsky’s Piano Music, The Sorcerer’s
Piano, Growing Babies Bright, Nothing but Singing to Do
with singers Kate Egan & Marlene Bateman, and a newly
released solo CD Keys to Recovery as a fundraiser for
cancer.
Dr.
Osinchuk is active as an educator developing and presenting
music workshops for young students in remote and urban school
locations. She is well known for her lecture-recitals for
professional and community groups. Juliana was awarded in
2001 the BP/YWCA “Woman of Achievement Award”
for her professional excellence and community service. She
is on the Steinway Piano roster of international artists,
has served on the faculty of Hunter College in New York City,
and was associate professor at the State University of N.Y.
at Purchase. Currently Juliana serves as artistic director
of the Anchorage Festival of Music - Soiree Series
& Young Alaskan Artists Award Programs. The Young
Alaskan Artists program celebrated its 10th
anniversary in 2008 with two concerts reuniting many of the
previous winners.
