"...the best concert grand
piano I have ever played."
Andre Previn

"Sometimes pianists try to
sound like singers:
me personally I try to sound
like a BOsendorfer."
PlOcido Domingo

"Bbsendorfer is a symbol of
European musical culture.
Through these excellent
instruments, the remote
voices of Haydn, Mozart,
Beethoven and Schubert
speak directly to us."

Welcome,
On behalf of the faculty, staff and students of the ASU Herberger College School of
Music, I am very pleased to welcome you to the 3rd BOsendorfer USAsu International
Piano Competition and the 3rd Schimmel USAsu International Competition
for Young Pianists. Your selection as a semi-finalist demonstrates your excellent
musicianship, and we wish you the best in your performance. I hope that your
experience on our campus is a musically rewarding one.

Dear Competitors, Distinguished Members of the Jury, and Guests,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 3rd Bilisendorfer & Schimmel
USAsu International Piano Competitions. It is our mission to encourage and
assist young artists to fulfill their destinies. As Anastasia Markina, our 2006
Gold Medalist and First Prize David Katzin Award winner, said to her audience
following a benefit recital for our competition, "I was born to do this."
The competition is created through a collaboration between the Arizona Young Artist
Committee, a non-profit organization dedicated to the nurturing of young talented pianists in
our state since 1991, and the Herberger College School of Music at Arizona State University.

We are greatly appreciative of the Brisendorfer and Schimmel piano companies' support for these
international competitions. We salute their dedication to music and to their interest in assisting the
launch of new careers.
We look forward to your performances. Enjoy ASU and Arizona!
Sincerely,

I thank Kwang-Wu Kim, dean of the ASU Herberger College of the Arts, and Kimberly
Marshall, director of its School of Music, for their encouragement and continuous support
of this event. I also thank the Herberger College and School of Music staff and the members
of the Young Artist Committee for their endless hours of work on this project. Additionally,
this event would not have been possible without the generous support of the BOsendorfer and
Schimmel piano companies, local philanthropists dedicated to arts and music, as well as private
and corporate sponsors. I am privileged to lead an event of this magnitude, and I deeply thank
all who made it happen.
More than 7,000 brochures were distributed internationally for the 2008 competitions and 133
pianists from 19 countries applied. A committee comprised of five professional pianists screened
recordings of the applicants, and 42 young pianists rose to the top and were selected as our
semi-finalists. They are gathered to take part in a non-biased competition of utmost integrity
and to share their artistry with us.
It is our mission to discover and encourage pianists who possess a personal voice of
interpretation and musical conviction, in harmony with the legacy of the great artists of the
past. Our distinguished jury will award those competitors who convey themselves as true artists.
I wish for all of our competitors to be inspired by each note they play and to continue their
musical passion in the future.

DR. KIMBERLY MARSHALL

Director
ASU Herberger College School of Music

For friends and family, this will be a truly exciting week as these talented semi-finalists compete for

Robert Hamilton
Internationally respected pianist and recording artist Robert Hamilton has been
enthusiastically reviewed by two chief music critics for The New York Times.
Harold C. Schonberg, who also authored The Great Pianists, wrote: "He is a
very fine artist. All of Hamilton's playing has color and sensitivity...one of the
best of the million or so around." And, Donal J. Henahan reported: "It was an
enthralling listening experience. We must hear this major talent again, and soon!"
Hamilton studied at Indiana University with the first winner of the coveted
Levintritt award, Sidney Foster, and graduated summa cum laude. A move to
New York City brought studies with Dora Zaslaysky of the Manhattan School,
coaching from legendary pianist Vladimir Horowitz, a host of monetary awards
from the Rockefeller Fund and U.S. State Department, the launching of a strong career and the winning of
five major international competitions.

T

Hamilton has made countless tours of four continents' music capitals. His orchestral engagements have
included the Chicago, National, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Phoenix, Indianapolis, Grant Park, Chautauqua and
S.O.D.R.E symphony orchestras. Hamilton has been broadcast over NPR, ABC, BBC London, Voice of
America, Armed Forces Network, DRS Zurich and Radio Warsaw. He has recorded for Phillips, Orion and
Summit Records. A recent 2004 release brought this comment from Audiophile Audition: "Hamilton has a
blazingly brilliant approach to this repertory, delivering powerful, often breathtaking interpretations. Exposure
will make any future hearing of these works seem pallid." The American Record Guide added: "Hamilton's
playing is full of integrity, rare brilliance and grandeur. This is a pianist I would like to have studied with."
Hamilton's students also have won many prizes and awards, appearing with several U.S. symphonies, as well
as the London Westminster Philharmonic, Orchestre Philharmonic d'Avignon, Kammerorchester Dusseldorf,
Pazardjik National Orchestra, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Nagoya Gakuen Philharmonic and
Korea Symphony.
Featured in the book, The Most Wanted Piano Teachers in the USA, Hamilton also served as artistic director
of the London Piano Festival during the 1990s. Since 2000, he has joined with Vladimir Feltsman and a
distinguished group of prominent international pianists each July for PianoSummer in New York. Hamilton is
an official Steinway Artist.

Originally built upon the suggestion by composer Ferruccio Busoni, the Imperial has 97 keys for a
full eight octaves. This expanded range allows faithful performances of a number of compositions
by Bart6k, Debussy, Ravel and Busoni. The magnificent instrument generates a powerful and poignantly full tone. It is present in some of the world's great concert halls, and the college is honored
to receive such a gift.
Entrepreneur, philanthropist and life-long music lover, David Katzin has been, and continues to
be, one of Herberger College's most generous investors. His involvement with the ASU Herberger
College of the Arts extends in many directions – from endowing the magnificent concert hall
that bears his father's name to underwriting the first prize in the Bosendorfer & Schimmel USAsu
International Piano Competitions.

The voting procedure for the 3rd BOsendorfer & Schimmel USAsu International Piano
Competitions was designed by John MacBain, PhD, who is both a mathematician and violinist.
Involving sophisticated computer software that calculates results based on numerical scores,
this system previously was designed for and used successfully by the International Violin
Competition of Indianapolis, the Cleveland International Piano Competition and the Van
Cliburn International Piano Competition.
The system has two underlying premises. The first is that the opinion of a juror is contained
not so much in the actual scores given, but in the distribution and spacing of the scores. This
is coupled with an assumption that each juror has only a certain amount of "opinion" to
contribute to the final decision, much like sending someone on a purchasing trip with a fixed
budget.
In order to maintain the integrity of the voting process, jury members abstain from voting for
any competitor they have taught in the past three years, will teach in the immediate future, or
for competitors with whom they have a family relationship. Jury members also may waive their
vote for personal or professional reasons. All declarations of abstentions are made the night
before the competition begins and are maintained throughout the competition. Jury members
score each candidate on a scale of 1 to 25 (except for declared abstentions).
All voting is by written ballot, without discussion. Jury members sign their ballots with
a number, picked at random, which are known only to the executive director, statistician
and president. To balance the scores of a consistently high-scoring juror with a consistently

"Miss Markina performed Medtner's extensive Sonata
— Reminiscenze Op. 38 No. 1 with great passion, she displayed
instant delicacy of technique, and seemed to be on with the
keyboard, whether passage were gentle or intense. Her soothing
artistry wove a web of mystery, capturing every subtle variation in
the work."
David Dow Bently III
"The People's Critic"
Anastasia Markina was born in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1978. She started playing piano when
she was almost four. Her first teacher, Tatiana Shrago, led Markina to win her first competition
