 Ksenia
Nosikova
Called a pianist of “impressive musicianship” and “refined
sensibility and exquisite pianism, fascinating to watch and hear”
by the Boston Globe and New York Concert Reviews,
Ksenia Nosikova has performed extensively as a solo pianist and chamber
musician in Europe, Russia, and both Americas. In the United States
she appeared at different concert venues including Merkin Hall, Jordan
Hall, Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Dame Myra Hess concert series
in Chicago, Los Angeles Museum of Arts concert series, and at over 50
American universities guest artist series. She has been invited to perform
in various international and national festivals including those in Rimini
(Italy), Munster (France), and Rovin (Yugoslavia), as well as the Aspen
and Sarasota Music Festivals in the United States. The press has praised
her performances as being “… brilliant, full of grace and
the most astonishing precision.…” (Dernieres Nouvilles
D’Alsace), and “…musically very poetic ...full
of light, warmth, and joy…” (Madison Music Review).
Among her recordings are 3 solo piano compact discs of The Years
of Pilgrimage by Franz Liszt released by Centaur Records, Inc.
to critical acclaim. “…Ksenia Nosikova proves to be a worthy
contender on every level, as her stylish, intelligent, and technically
rock-solid artistry bears out…” ClassicsToday.
And to quote the American Record Guide “…Her Polonaise
Melancolique is indeed revelatory…extraordinary elasticity
of rhythm, tasteful rubato, and above all, spellbinding atmosphere.
I don’t expect this unusual work played so remarkably any time
soon…” Her most recent release (fall 2006) is a recording
of early twentieth-century English music for viola and piano “The
Blissful Viola” with violist Christine Rutledge on Centaur Records
label. Ksenia Nosikova’s collaboration with an American composer
Lera Auerbach led to a world-premiere recording of Ms. Auerbach’s
solo piano music, which will be released in 2007. Ms. Nosikova has been
featured on several live radio and television programs, including WQXR
in New York City, WFMT in Chicago, WGBH in Boston, KMZT in Los Angeles,
and Zagreb TV.
Ksenia Nosikova is a graduate of Moscow Conservatory, where she received
her Undergraduate and Masters’ (with highest honors) degrees.
She earned her Doctoral degree from the University of Colorado. Presently,
Ksenia Nosikova is an Associate Professor of Piano at the University

music programs and festivals. Since joining The University of Iowa faculty
in 1998, she has presented over 40 master classes in the U.S. and abroad.
In addition to her active performing, recording and teaching schedule,
