Eve Egoyan is an internationally celebrated Armenian-Canadian artist whose medium is the piano. She continually re-invents her relationship with her instrument through the creation and commissioning of new works, which she has performed around the world. Her performances encompass extremely contrasting sensibilities: from Alvin Curran’s five-hour-long Inner Cities to Erik Satie’s miniatures; from minimalist Simple Lines of Enquiry by Ann Southam to maximalist new complexity works by Michael Finnissy; from the barely audible to roaring overtone-filled resonances; from the rigorous interpretation of a score to free improvisation. Egoyan’s artistic curiosity also includes collaborating with artists from a variety of disciplines including the exploration of technologies in relation to the piano.
Eve trained in classical repertoire at the Victoria Conservatory of Music; the University of Victoria with Eva Solar-Kinderman; the Banff Centre of Fine Arts with György Sebök; the Hochschule der Künste in West Berlin with Georg Sava (DAAD); the Royal Academy of Music in London, England, with Hamish Milne (Commonwealth Scholarship). She completed her M.Mus. at the University of Toronto with Patricia Parr (Chalmers Award). Eve is an elected Associate of the Royal Academy of Music, London. T
