On Friday, October 28, internationally acclaimed pianist Violeta Petrova will bring her renowned talent to the Library.
Violeta Petrova has been transfixing audiences with the expression and sound she brings to her music for many years - ever since she was a young girl growing up in her native Bulgaria. Her performing career has extended throughout Europe, Asia, and the United States. Petrova has also made numerous recordings for the Finnish and Bulgarian National Radio Networks.
Petrova has performed as a soloist and in collaboration with international musicians for decades in a dozen nations throughout Europe, Asia and the United States. From 1987 to 2013, she was a piano professor at Sibelius Academy and Helsinki Conservatory in Finland, and frequently a visiting professor at Chungye University for the Arts in South Korea and Duluth University in Minnesota. She leads piano master courses in her native Bulgaria, as well as in Finland, Greece, South Korea, and the United States. In addition, Petrova has participated as a jury member for many international piano competitions.
In 2014 Petrova relocated to California, ready for a new chapter in her piano career and to be close to her family. She is an active member of the Rotary Club of Carlsbad, and a recipient of Rotary International’s distinguished Paul Harris Award.
