Latrobe City’s coordinator performing arts and venues, Kathleen Roberts said that Roman Rudnytsky was an internationally active concert pianist of Ukrainian background whose frequent performances take him all over the world.

"He is in fact one of the most travelled of all concert pianists, having played in more countries than almost all others. In addition to performances in capital cities and important musical centres, he often plays in places away from the musical mainstream, bringing the world and pleasure of classical music to audiences that seldom experience this type of music in live performance," Ms Roberts explained.

Born in New York into a prominent Ukrainian musical family, Mr Rudnytsky began the study of piano at age 4 and gave his first full recital at age 7. He is a graduate of the famous Juilliard School in New York and also did additional studies at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Maryland and at master classes in Austria (the Mozarteum) and Italy.

Mr. Rudnytsky is a prize winner in 10 piano competitions, including the prestigious International Leventritt Competition (New York) and International JS Bach Competition (Washington) and, in Italy, the F Busoni and A Casagrande International Piano Competitions. He has made numerous recordings in Poland, Australia and the United States.

Ms Roberts added that in addition to his many recitals, Mr. Rudnytsky has also appeared as a soloist with many orchestras around the world.

"To date, he has played over 45 different works for piano and orchestra. A great honour indeed, he gave the British, Latin American and Australian premiere performances of the recently discovered Liszt ‘Concerto No. 3 in E Flat’ between 1990 and 1993," Ms Roberts said.

"To have a performer of this experience come to the Latrobe Performing Arts Centre is an opportunity not to be missed for classical music lovers. Mr Rudnytsky will enthral the audience with his dynamic performance of many well known classical pieces," Ms Roberts concluded.

Roman Rudnytsky will perform at the Latrobe Performing Arts Centre on Thursday 30 July from 7pm. To book tickets, contact the Box Office on 5176 3559.
