Artist description Arianna Goldina & Remy Loumbrozo are among the most gifted and famous duo piano teams performing today. The exceptional musicianship of the American-French duo-pianists Arianna Goldina and Remy Loumbrozo has brought them consistent praise from critics and audiences alike and international recognition as one of today's leading duo-piano teams. Their rare beauty of ensemble playing has been characterized as a "four-hand symphony". The husband and wife team is widely known to North America and Europe, where they regularly perform in recitals, international music festivals, and as soloists with orchestras. They have been heard in numerous music centers of the United States, Canada, England, France, Italy, Germany, the Baltic States, Russia, and Scandinavia, and have appeared, among others with The Detroit Symphony, The Pacific Symphony, The New World Symphony, The Symphony of the Americas, The Philharmonic Orchestra of Florida, and The Latvian National Symphonic Orchestra.Goldina and Loumbrozo captured public attention after winning First Prize at two major international duo-piano competitions: the 7th Valentino Bucchi Competition of 20th Century Music in Rome, Italy, and in 1989, the 2nd Murray Dranoff Two-Piano Competition in Miami. Their debut recording of an all-Liszt program on the Pianissime label followed shortly thereafter. The duo has also recorded an all-French album on the Phoenix label (PHCD135) and in 1998, their collaboration with two prominent American composers, John Corigliano and Ned Rorem, resulted in a new, highly acclaimed CD featuring three world premiere recordings(PHCD138). In commemoration of the composer's centennial, the duo is now completing an all-Copland CD scheduled for release in the Fall of 2000 on the Phoenix label.Born far apart, in Latvia and France, Arianna Goldina and Remy Loumbrozo met at The Juilliard School of Music in New York City, while studying with Martin Canin and Sascha Gorodnitzki respectively. Both pianists hold Master of Music degrees from The Juilliard School. In 1996, Ms. Goldina received her Ph.D. in piano performance from New York University where she studied with Herbert Stessin, and in 1997, Mr. Loumbrozo was named Chevalier in the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture for his contribution to French culture. Both pianists serve as Associate Artistic Directors of the Murray Dranoff Foundation in Miami.
