Pianist selected as artist-in-residence

nternationally acclaimed pianist Zora Mihailovich has been named artist-in-residence in the Department of Music in the College. As artist-in-residence, Mihailovich will present a recital each semester; appear as a soloist with various ensembles; hold workshops and master classes for pianists; coach chamber music, including piano; and will be a guest lecturer in academic courses.

"Zora Mihailovich's appointment as artist-in-residence gives the opportunity for the many talented students in the College to benefit from having a world-class performer among our ranks," said Kim Kowalke, chair of the music department.

Born in Belgrade, Mihailovich started her musical studies at age 5 and debuted with the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra when she was 16. A year later, she became the youngest person ever to graduate from the Academy of Music in Belgrade.

Before moving to the United States in 1989, Mihailovich was professor of piano at the University of Belgrade for 15 years. She has served as a visiting professor at the University of Arizona's School of Music and at the Uppsala School of Music in Sweden, and was a guest artist at the University of Southern California School of Music and the California Institute of the Arts.
