PIANIST TANYA GABRIELIAN TO PERFORM AT BROOKHAVEN LAB, JANUARY 15
UPTON, N.Y.
The following information was released by Brookhaven National Laboratory:
Pianist Tanya Gabrielian, who rose to international acclaim with first
prize in the Scottish International Piano competition, will perform at
the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory on
Wednesday, January 15, at noon in Berkner Hall. Sponsored by
Brookhaven Science Associates, the event is free and open to the
public. All visitors to the Laboratory 16 and older must bring a photo
I.D.
Gabrielian was also a winner at the Aram Khachaturyan International
Piano Competition, and is a recipient of the Pro Musicis International
Award. She is also a laureate of the Sydney International Piano
Competition and the Bosendorfer International Piano Competition. Her
Wigmore Hall debut, as winner of the coveted Wigmore Prize awarded by
the Royal Academy of Music, was reviewed as "revelatory, a feast of
romantic pianism which held us enthralled." Gabrielian's Southbank
debut recital in the Purcell Room in London, presented by the
Philharmonia Orchestra, was selected as "Performance of the Year 2006"
by Seen and Heard International. She has also been featured on the
cover of the magazine Clavier.
Gabrielian has performed in North America, Europe, Asia, and
Australia, at venues including Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall in
New York, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Wigmore Hall in London, Sydney
Opera House, Salle Cortot in Paris, Usher Hall in Edinburgh, Glasgow
Royal Concert Hall, Bonn Beethovenhaus, and the Dame Myra Hess Concert
Series in Chicago. She has performed concerti with orchestras
including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Royal Scottish National
Orchestra, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the New London Sinfonia, and
the Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra. National radio broadcasts include
NPR, WGBH (Boston), WFMT (Chicago), KCSN (Los Angeles), WQXR (New
York), and VPR (Vermont). Her debut CD, Kaleidoscope, was released in
November 2010.
As founder of the MELERcollective, Tanya Gabrielian is dedicated to
promoting the artist as activist through art. Projects have included
an installation with artist Fran Bull for the exhibit "In Flanders
Field: A Meditation on War," recitals featuring composers with mental
illnesses (highlighting the stigma around mental health issues), and a
multidisciplinary collaboration combining Haydn's Seven Last Words of
Our Savior on the Cross with final statements from executed death row
inmates. Gabrielian has founded a biweekly interactive performance
series for patients at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. She
was awarded the 2011 McGraw-Hill Robert Sherman Award for Music
Education and Community Outreach for her work.
Gabrielian received her bachelor's and master's degrees from the Royal
Academy of Music, then completed her studies at The Juilliard School
as the only candidate accepted for the prestigious Artist Diploma
program, an extraordinarily selective post-graduate residency program,
where she studied with Robert McDonald and Matti Raekallio. For her
performance at Brookhaven, Gabrielian will include works by
Handel-Liszt, Schumann, Beethoven, and Rachmaninov.
