Mariam Nazarian
- Music Department
Mariam Nazarian made her Carnegie Hall debut at age 16 as the youngest pianist in Carnegie's history to have performed J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations, BWV 988. Her holistic approach to performance, production, pedagogy, and research, has brought about innovative projects in collaboration with Princeton University's 3D3A Lab; the Berliner Philharmoniker under the direction of Sir Simon Rattle; the Leipzig Bach-Archiv; as well as numerous benefit concerts - produced on behalf of The Scheide Fund (Princeton) and Nazarian Music & Media - that have featured the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists under the direction of Sir John Eliot Gardiner; the Vienna, Zurich, and English Chamber Orchestras; Festival Strings Lucerne; Bach-Collegium Stuttgart; and the Philadelphia Orchestra, among many others. Nazarian has also co-produced guest speaker appearances with Harvard University's Office for the Arts and has served as programming advisor to the Arts Council of Princeton. She is a frequent contributor to documentary and narrative feature film projects in producing and creative capacities. As a sought-after piano coach to actors like Elijah Wood (Grand Piano), AnnaSophia Robb (Down A Dark Hall), and others, Nazarian draws upon her multi-disciplinary background to enable successful outcomes for on-screen musical performances. Nazarian - a Bösendorfer Artist since 2002 - is a graduate of the Mannes College of Music (NYC), Harvard University, and University of Cambridge.
