Born in Leningrad (St. Petersburg), Mikhail Yanovitsky began studying piano with his mother, Larisa, and with Marina Wolf at the Leningrad Special Music School, and at the age of eighteen entered the Moscow Conservatory. After arriving in the US, he won the Young Concert Artists International Auditions (1991), a significant recognition. The winner of many awards, including the First Prize in the Piano Concerto Competition in Cantù, Italy (which culminated in a recital in Milan's Salle Verdi), he also won the Miriam Klausner Competition in Long Island, ProPiano in New York, and two coveted Gina Bachauer Piano Graduate Scholarships at the Juilliard School. After joining the roster of Steinway Artists in 2001, he completed his Doctorate at Temple University in the following year, where he defended his thesis on the piano music of Scriabin under the tutelage of Harvey Wedeen. Later that year he assumed his post as an Assistant Professor of piano at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago.
Both his stunning New York debut and his critically acclaimed Kennedy Center debut were presented by Young Concert Artists, where Dr. Yanovitsky was the most frequently re-engaged artist on the roster. The recipient of the 1993 Aaron and Irene Diamond Soloist Prize for Young Concert Artists, he performed with the New York Chamber Orchestra with Gerard Schwarz conducting.
In addition to performing in numerous countries, Dr. Yanovitsky has concretized in 33 of the 50 states in the U.S. He has conducted master classes throughout the U.S., Europe, Russia, Israel, and Japan.
