Rudnytsky is an internationally active concert pianist of Ukrainian background whose frequent performances take him all over the world\u2014to every continent and places in-between. In addition to performances in capital cities and important musical centers, he often plays in places away from the musical mainstream, bringing the world and pleasure of classical music to audiences which seldom experience this type of music in live performance. He has received much acclaim in the world\u2019s press and many repeat invitations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A graduate of the Julliard School in New York, he also did additional studies at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Maryland and at master classes in Austria (the \u201cMozarteum\u201d) and Italy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since 1972, Rudnytsky has been a member of the piano faculty of the Dana School of Music at Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio. He is a recipient of that institution\u2019s \u201cDistinguished Professor Award\u201d in recognition of his concert activities. He previously served on the piano faculties of the Indiana University School of Music (Bloomington, Indiana) and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory, in addition to being artist-in-residence at two Australian universities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During his two week visit to Saipan, he will travel to\u00a0many of the CNMI schools, playing\u00a0and discussing music with the students.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

This is Rudnytsky\u2019s ninth trip to the CNMI.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Rudnytsky travels at his own expense and donates his time to the community.\u00a0The Friends of the Arts, with the help of sponsors from the community, have hosted Rudnytsky\u2019s stay.<\/p>\n
