Lambis Vassiliadis |
Vassiliadis is one of the most distinguished Greek pianists of
the younger generation, and represents a unique style of
explosive pianism and artistic sensibility. Privileged to study
with Y. Menouhin, Victor Merzhanov,
Jerome Rose and
James Tocco, he holds five
academic titles from universities and music academies around the
world.
Vassiliadis won numerous awards in international and national
piano competitions and managed to attract the attention of the
international press as a recording artist. His skill has been
praised in music publications worldwide. He has appeared in many
countries in solo concerts and with orchestras with a variety of
repertoire including works like the 2nd Tchaikovsky concerto or
Liszt’s Malediction. Vassiliadis is currently Associate
Professor of Piano at the Ionian
University Department of Music in Corfu, Greece and the
coordinator of the Summer Academy and Festival of Corfu.
The University of Toledo is
proud to annually host the The Dorothy MacKenzie Price Piano

University to provide master classes and recitals, including
Anthony Pattin and William Wellborn this past fall. The pianist
concluding the series this year is Irina Yukovskaya, whose
master class and recital will be held April 17 and 18,
