"...FIERY, SPONTANEOUS, BRILLIANT..."
…audiences, critics, and juries internationally have used these adjectives to describe the playing of the young Canadian-Ukrainian pianist. Before turning eighteen, Rizikov won half a dozen international competitions (and their audience prizes) amongst adults, recorded a CD with NAXOS, and played over 50 times with orchestra. Her benefit concerts for Ukraine have not only introduced audiences worldwide to Ukrainian music, but raised 30 000 euros, and her newly founded ensemble Shum- a duo with cellist Lisa Straus- is already taking France by storm. With stunning virtuosity and innovative projects for the future, this pianist is one to watch.
