Russian-born Liana Forest has appeared in concerts throughout the world, receiving acclaim for her brilliant virtuosity and musical insight. Her career extends from the concert stage to the recording studio, from summer festivals to Royal command performances. Her live shows are heartfelt, with a special blend of humor which is uniquely her own. Her stage presence and performance creates great warmth in the audience, and as a solo artist she has the ability to breathe life into a venue.

Liana studied in Russia with renowned professor Ludmila Ginsburg, herself a graduate from Moscow Conservatoire under the tutelage of famous Heinrich Neuhaus (Richter and Gilels were among his other pupils). Liana inherited her celebrated teacher's passion and poetic approach, favoring a repertoire from Romantic periods.

In the United States, Liana toured nationwide under the auspices of Columbia Artists, Inc. appearing as a recitalist and soloist with symphony orchestras. She was a soloist with the San Francisco Midsummer Mozart Festival orchestra conducted by George Cleve. She also appeared in recitals in Germany and Austria, and performed for Princess Sofia of Romania. Her recent seasons have included appearances on National European Television in Holland, as well as orchestral and recital appearances in the US, Africa, Europe and Asia. She often performs as a headline entertainer on Crystal Cruises and Silversea Cruises. Her acclaimed recordings of Romantic piano music are distributed worldwide.
