Bio

Milena Mollova Dec 29, 2011

Milena Mollova is a pianist and piano pedagogue with an immensely prolific career. She is among the very few pianists, fortunate enough to have attended the school of the genius performer Emil Gillels. She also had the chance of being a student of prof. Dimitar Nenov, and before that, of the piano pedagogue Pavla Zhekova. She completed her college studies at 19, in the class of Prof.Panka Pelishek. From that point onwards, her performing career has been an endless chain of awards, of guest performances and the conquering of new artistic peaks, relevant to her original goals as an artist. She has numerous appearances in prestigious international competitions: The First Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow; The Marguerite Long-Jacques Thibault Competition in Paris; The ARD International Contest in Munich; The Beethoven Competition in Vienna. She has toured the concert stages of Europe, Japan, USA and Cuba. Her repertoire is impressive, including different styles and epochs and covering the wide range between solo and chamber performances within various formations and in partnership with all Bulgarian symphony orchestras under the batons of the greatest Bulgarian conductors, as well as of international celebrities such as Kondrashin, Akiyama, Baumgartner, Tzipin.
An emblematic landmark in Milena Mollova’s repertoire is her performance of the cycle of 32 sonatas by Beethoven, presented in a series of 9 concerts – a daunting artistic undertaking that few performing artists have ever dared to tackle.It has been on many occasions that Milena Mollova had managed an integral performance of Beethoven’s sonatas for violin and piano, the last one with Mario Hossen. Alongside her interpretation of the classical repertoire, she takes the challenge of the first performance of works by contemporary American composers, as well as by such from Bulgaria and other European countries. Her substantial experience as a performer forms the basic of her intensive teacher’s career.Professor Milena Mollova is the Head of the Department of Music at New Bulgarian University, she also teaches at the Pancho Vladigerov State Conservatoire, and the Northern Greece Conservatoire in Thessaloniki.She has been teaching in Master classes in Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Turkey, Bulgaria, South Corea and USA, and has been invited to sit on jury panels for major international competitions.
Prof.Milena Mollova’s skills as a performer, teacher and organizer of events are mutually complementary, helping her to bring her teaching and performing projects up to such a perfection as to reflect her enormous experience while outlining the far-teaching horizons of her ability and ambition.
