we are excited about again having the distinguished American pianist Raymond
Jackson return to our series. Dr. Jackson has won top prizes in numerous
national and international competitions including the Marguerite Long
International Piano Concour in Paris and the Tenth International Piano
Competition in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. His doctoral dissertation, “The Piano
Music of Twentieth Century Black Americans” has been incorporated into the
Juilliard Music library. Raymond Jackson is celebrated for elevating piano
poetry to an exquisitely high level by his sensitivity. His virtuoso artistry
held our audience in awe and we are looking forward to another beautiful and
memorable performance by Raymond Jackson.

will present the brilliant and dynamic Ukraine-born pianist Marina Lomazov.
Ms. Lomazov is the youngest First Prize winner of the Kiev All-Piano
Competition. She is also First Prize winner of the 1998 Hilton Head
International Piano Competition and the 1997 National Federation of Music Clubs
Young Artist Audition. She is the Silver Medallist of the 1995 Cleveland
International Piano Competition. In 1998 Ms. Lomazov received prizes in the
William Kapell and Gina Bachauer International Piano Competitions. Critics
praise her as “a diva of the piano” and “a mesmerizing risk-taker”. We
are certain she will end our 2000-2001 season in a grand and elegant manner.
As you can see our 2000-2001 season will be another
offering of great piano performances by some of the most gifted pianists
performing on the international stage. We hope you will be able to attend all of
the performances and enjoy the great piano repertoire shared with these truly
outstanding pianists.
