OXANA CORJOS
With her every performance, Oxana Corjos reveals a remarkable musical talent combined with consummate piano-playing technique.

She went on to study under maestro Dan Grigore at the National University of Music, Bucharest.
She has received numerous awards at contests held Barcelona (1986) and Rome (1991). In 1992, she received the Cella Delavrancea Award for Cultural Merit.
She has performed in numerous radio and television broadcasts and made special recordings of works by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven Mussorgsky, Debussy, Richard Strauss, and Prokofiev, among others, for Romanian Radio Broadcasting, some of which have been rebroadcast by Radio Brussels.
