Hailed as “a fine combination of keyboard mastery and elegant refinement,” Ukrainian-American pianist Anna Dmytrenko has distinguished herself as a versatile artist on the international stage. Over the course of her career, she has performed in some of the world’s most renowned venues, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Kimmel Center, Popejoy Hall, Temple Emanu-El, Auditorium Gaber, Paris Philharmonie, Salle Cortot, Smetana Hall, Teatro Sociale di Como, Theatro Municipal de São Paulo, and the Amman Royal Cultural Center.

Dmytrenko’s artistry has been recognized with prizes at numerous international competitions. She won top prizes at the Cantu International Piano Competition, Manhattan International Music Competition, New York International Piano Competition, and Ricard Viñes International Piano Competition. At the inaugural Olga Kern International Piano Competition, she received Second Prize, along with the Audience Choice and Best Contemporary Piece awards, performing Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in the final round with the New Mexico Philharmonic under Vladimir Kern.

Concerto highlights include appearances with the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, conducting Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 from the keyboard, as well as with the Orquestra Sinfônica Municipal de São Paulo, KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic, Prague Summer Nights Festival Orchestra, Amman Chamber Orchestra, Orquestra Simfònica del Vallès, and the Bacău Philharmonic Orchestra. Festival appearances include the Verbier Festival, Festival de Piano Rafael Orzo de Córdoba, International Keyboard Institute and Festival in New York, and St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London. Her debut album, Anna Dmytrenko: Live in Recital, features works by Medtner, Rachmaninoff, and Barber.

Deeply connected to her Ukrainian roots, Dmytrenko has performed fundraising concerts in support of Ukraine, including solo and concerto appearances organized by Classical Movements. She is committed to championing the works of Ukrainian composers, such as Bortkiewicz, Kosenko, Silvestrov, and Skoryk. Her dedication reflects a broader artistic vision: using music not only as a vehicle for personal expression, but also as a means of celebrating cultural heritage and fostering community through the arts.

Dmytrenko earned her Doctor of Musical Arts degree at the Manhattan School of Music under the tutelage of Olga Kern, where she was honored with the Helen Cohn Award, presented to an exceptional doctoral graduate. She began her musical studies in Mariupol, Ukraine, continued in Delaware with Jeanne Pascal and David Brown, and then entered the Juilliard School Pre-College Division to study with Oxana Yablonskaya. She holds a Bachelor’s degree with Regents Award from the Royal Academy of Music in London, studying with Christopher Elton, and earned two Master’s degrees in Solo and Chamber Music from the Universität der Künste in Berlin with Pascal Devoyon. In addition to her musical training, she completed Harvard Business School’s Credential of Readiness (CORe) program with honors, reflecting her interest in exploring the intersections of music, leadership, and professional development.

Equally dedicated to scholarship and pedagogy, Dmytrenko taught piano classes for undergraduate and graduate students at the Manhattan School of Music during her doctoral studies, guiding students in developing essential keyboard skills and musical understanding. Her dissertation, Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 2: An In-Depth Look from the Pianist’s Bench, focuses on a work that has been central to her performing career, providing practical guidance on both its historical context and practicing techniques from the perspective of the performing pianist. Deeply passionate about teaching, her philosophy centers on tailoring her approach to the unique strengths, goals, and needs of each student. With a career that bridges international performance, research, and education, she is committed to inspiring the next generation of musicians while bringing audiences powerful and transformative concert experiences.
