Details:
Sophia Agranovich is a noted concert pianist and educator, performing as a soloist, chamber musician and collaborative pianist internationally as well as in the United States. Her style is characterized by ‘volcanic eruptions of passion’, ‘ethereal nuances of tranquility and tenderness that stir the soul’, ‘extraordinary technique, ‘refined velvety tone’, and ‘elegant interpretations’. Among her venues are Lincoln Center, Kaufmann Concert Hall, Steinway Hall, Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, and Bargemusic, all in New York City, Salle Cortot in Paris, Rubin Academy of Music in Tel-Aviv, Brandeis-Bardin University in California, Watchung Arts Center in New Jersey, Kiev Tchaikovsky National Academy of Music and Lvov State Conservatory in Ukraine.

A native of Ukraine, Sophia Agranovich won the All-Ukrainian Young Artists Competition at ten, being the youngest participant. Many of her concert appearances were broadcasted nationwide. Her teachers included Anna Stolarevich and renowned professor Alexander Edelman; both were peers of Vladimir Horowitz at the Kiev Conservatory in the class of Felix Blumenfeld.

At fifteen, Sophia immigrated to the USA and entered the Juilliard School in New York City as a scholarship student of legendary professor Sascha Gorodnitzki who himself was a student of Josef Lhevinne - peer of Sergei Rachmaninoff and Alexander Scriabin. While at Juilliard, Sophia Agranovich also studied with Nadia Reisenberg, a descendant of the St. Petersburg piano school of Leonid Nikolaev and student of Joseff Hofmann and Alexander Lambert - student of Franz Liszt.

Sophia earned her Bachelor and Master Degrees from the Juilliard School while holding a Fellowship teaching Piano Minor at Juilliard, and later joined the faculty of the Town House International Music School in New York City. At the same time, Sophia won a first prize in the Bergen Philharmonic Competition in Piano.

After graduating from Juilliard, Sophia began working towards her Doctorate at the Columbia University, but deferred that pursuit to raise a family.

Sophia Agranovich is the Artistic Director of ‘Classicals in the Circle’ music series at the Watchung Arts Center and Program Chair of Music Educators Association in New Jersey, member of the various professional music associations and Private Teachers directory of the Juilliard School.

In the words of distinguished composer David Diamond, Sophia Agranovich is “a musician of splendid gifts...as a pianist of remarkable technical accomplishments, she is also one of the more sensitive artists who brings to her performances a percipiency and sensibility all too rare among her contemporaries... She is a singular artist and should be admired for that rare quality alone”.
