  28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B69ZT7hSRLo)\n\nThe only pianist in t
 he world who performed the complete Rachmaninoff solo piano works within t
 he composer’s 150th-anniversary year in 2023\, Asiya Korepanova is a pia
 nistic powerhouse hailed as a "tremendously gifted pianist who exhibits a 
 singular affinity for Rachmaninoff’s Russian romantic idiom and possesse
 s the blazing technique to fully realize his distinctive scores" (South Fl
 orida Classical Review)\, who is also highly recognized as a composer\, vi
 sual artist\, and poet.\n\nA herald of an enormous repertoire encompassing
  [over 60 piano concertos](https://www.asiyakorepanova.com/repertoire) and
  solo works ranging from early Baroque period to music of living composers
 \, Asiya is a quintessential completist. She finds unique joy in performin
 g complete collections of works such as the 24 Liszt Etudes or the entire 
 Well-Tempered Clavier by Bach. Her emotionally charged and colorfully nuan
 ced performances have gained her the admiration of audiences and resulted 
 in many repeat engagements.\n\nAsiya\, a pianist and composer\, draws her 
 musical inspiration from the legacy of Dmitry Shostakovich\, having studie
 d composition under his direct disciple\, Albert Leman. She is the author 
 of original works in multiple genres and instrumentations. Her historic so
 lo piano transcriptions of [Richard Strauss’ "Ein Heldenleben"](https://
 www.asiyakorepanova.com/r-strauss-ein-heldenleben)\, [Rachmaninoff's Cello
  Sonata](https://www.asiyakorepanova.com/rachsonata3)\, Tchaikovsky's *Man
 fred* Symphony\, and [Mussorgsky's "Songs and Dances of Death"](https://ww
 w.asiyakorepanova.com/mussorgsky-songs-and-dances-of-deat) have placed her
  among today’s formidable transcribers. Most recent composition events i
 nclude the [world premiere recording of Asiya’s concerto for alto saxoph
 one and piano\, "Poème"](https://open.spotify.com/track/6i1kI7TddUxOjbUnc
 F3mYD?si=e7c29fd28c304825)\, performed by Thomas Giles and Liana Pailodze 
 Harron\; the [publication of her transcription of Rachmaninoff's Cello Son
 ata](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1143618230/rachmaninoff-korepanova-trans
 cription-of)\; the premiere of her Piano Quintet *I marvel at the sky* com
 missioned by the Third Dimension Music Festival\; and the premiere of *Con
  Brio* for two pianos\, performed with her duo partner Ilya Kazantsev as a
  part of the Dranoff Two Piano Foundation series.\n\nAn avid chamber music
 ian\, Asiya collaborates with a wide array of musicians. Her partners incl
 ude David Shifrin\, the Hermitage Piano Trio\, Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt\
 , Svetoslav Stoyanov\, Giora Schmidt\, and Alexander Fiterstein. She regul
 arly performs as part of the *88 by 20* piano duo with her friend and form
 er classmate\, Grammy-nominated pianist Ilya Kazantsev.\n \nUninhibited in
  her artistic expression\, Asiya is also sought after her work as a visual
  artist and poet.  Her uncompromising dedication to the arts have culminat
 ed in [several projects featuring original poetry and visual art](https://
 www.asiyakorepanova.com/multimedia-projects) that serve as interpretive co
 mmentary for a particular cycle of piano works. These cycles include [Lisz
 t’s Transcendental Etudes](https://www.asiyakorepanova.com/euphoria-afte
 r-liszt)\, [Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier](https://www.asiyakorepanova.co
 m/bach-wtc-book-i)\, [Tchaikovsky’s 18 Morceaux\, Op. 72](https://www.as
 iyakorepanova.com/tchaikovsky-album-op-72)\, and\, most recently\, Mussorg
 sky's *Pictures at an Exhibition*. Asiya's live performances of these comp
 ositions have astounded audiences and organizers alike.\n \nCaring about t
 he development of society\, in 2017 Asiya founded [Music for Minds](http:/
 /www.musicforminds.org/)\, a non-profit organization that brings classical
  performances into classrooms and creates music festivals featuring unique
  programming. From 2017 through 2019\, Asiya directed her brainchild Festi
 val Baltimore\, a two-week chamber music series and summer academy dedicat
 ed to the performance and study of complete cycles\, one of Music for Mind
 's projects. In just three years\, the festival solidified itself as a hig
 hly original music series and academy\, presenting a wide array of styles 
 and performers.\n \nBorn in Izhevsk\, Russia\, to a musical family\, Asiya
  began learning the piano at 4 years old from her mother Soreya\, her firs
 t piano teacher. At the age of 6\, she was taught to read music in orchest
 ral clefs by her father Sergey\, an exemplary composer\, and started compo
 sing her own music. At 9\, she made her orchestral debut\, playing Mozart'
 s Concerto No. 8 with her own cadenza\, and gave her first full philharmon
 ic recital.\n \nSimultaneously\, she began studying composition with Alber
 t Leman\, the chair of Moscow Conservatory's composition department and a 
 student of Dmitry Shostakovich. She continued working with him until his p
 assing in 1998. That short period has influenced all future aspects of her
  musical and artistic development.\n \nAs a result of her early bond with 
 composition\, Asiya appreciates new music. In Russia\, she premiered three
  piano concertos by Vladislav Kazenin and Shamil Timerbulatov\, performing
  with the Svetlanov Symphony Orchestra\, the Saint Petersburg Capella Symp
 hony Orchestra\, the Ural Philharmonic Orchestra\, and the Tatarstan Natio
 nal Symphony Orchestra. In the U.S.\, she has premiered various works by M
 ichael Daugherty\, Thomas Sleeper\, and Orlando Garcia\, among others.\n \
 nThroughout her early years in Russia\, Ms. Korepanova received various aw
 ards for her prodigious abilities. These include the Russian Federation Pr
 esidential Award for Exceptional Achievement in the Arts\, the National Aw
 ard from the Republic of Udmurtia (2002)\, the Germany Berliner Salon Awar
 d (2003)\, the Russia Youth Triumph Award (2005)\, and the title of Honore
 d Artist of Udmurtia (2009).\n \nIn 2012\, Asiya moved to the United State
 s at the invitation of renowned pianist and maestro Santiago Rodriguez\, t
 o earn a doctoral degree under his guidance at the University of Miami. La
 ter that year\, she was awarded the Gold Medal at the Nena Wideman Interna
 tional Piano Competition — an achievement that proved invaluable in esta
 blishing her concertizing career in the U.S. In 2017\, she added a Univers
 ity of Miami Artist Diploma degree to her portfolio\, having earned it in 
 the studios of Kevin Kenner and Tian Ying.\n \nAsiya has since continued t
 o garner national attention with performances at Stern Auditorium at Carne
 gie Hall\, the Phillips Collection\, and many other notable recital series
 \, symphony orchestras\, and festivals throughout the country. She has bee
 n featured on CNN\, NPR stations\, WFMT\, and WETA.\n \nIn 2023\, Asiya em
 barked on a monumental project in celebration of Rachmaninoff’s 150th bi
 rth anniversary\, performing his complete solo piano music in six recital 
 programs throughout the United States. She premiered her latest transcript
 ion — the *Manfred* Symphony by Tchaikovsky\; toured performing Clara Sc
 humann's\, Grieg's\, and Rachmaninoff's piano concertos\; and anticipates 
 the releases of scores of her compositions: the *Poéme* for alto saxophon
 e and piano and *Con Brio* for two pianos\, as well as transcriptions of w
 orks by Mussorgsky\, Franck\, Amy Beach\, Fauré\, Berg\, and Bach.\n \nAs
 iya and her husband Dmitry reside in a forest-rich Boston suburb\, where s
 he has unlimited time and hours of the day to practice or listen to music.
  She is an avid runner and hiker\, and an advocate for a healthy lifestyle
