Maya is one of the greatest piano talents I know. What makes her different from many other young pianists is her strong personality, already very clear and authoritative, despite her young age. She has a very complete technical background, which allows her to tackle even highly virtuosity pages with great polish and confidence. I am sure that in the coming years Maya Oganyan will be one of the leading names in the world of piano
