"Enormous power" and "sophistication" - Kate Rivers, The Washington Post

“Ashkenazy, Rubinstein, and Argerich...Senyshyn belongs in this august company” - Jerry Dubins, Fanfare

Canadian born pianist of Ukrainian ancestry, Yaroslav Senyshyn, Steinway Artist, was one of two prize pupils (along with the renowned Canadian composer and pianist, Larysa Kuzmenko) of the late and great Antonina Yaroshevich. Yaroshevich was a contemporary of Vladimir Horowitz at the Kiev Conservatory. Both Horowitz and Yaroshevich studied withthe famous pedagogue Felix Blumenfeld. Thus the grand tradition of piano playing was passed on and imparted to Yaroslav Senyshyn. Senyshyn is now one of the very much sought after exponents of this outstanding style of playing the piano.

Georgetown University Radio featured Senyshyn in a documentary program about great Canadian pianists, including Glenn Gould, Angela Hewitt, Louis Lortie and Anton Kuerti. In addition to his concert activities, Dr.Senyshyn is Professor of Music and Moral Philosophy at Simon Fraser University. He also performs with his wife, Dr. Susan O’Neill, Professor and Head at UCL, London and the internationally acclaimed flautist.

Senyshyn is described as a pianist of "enormous power" and "sophistication" (The Washington Post).  “When he wishes, he’s capable of a truly colossal sound... He can also play with great delicacy and refinement... of abeguiling, other-worldly atmosphere... music masterfully performed” (Robert Schulspaer, Fanfare). “Senyshynis a pianist of real sensitivity... the ideal interpreter, fearlessly delivering clusters one moment, proffering reflective balm the next... This really is beautiful playing, painterly in its ability to secure and extend anatmosphere.... There is a luminosity here that is rarely heard (Colin Clarke, Fanfare).   More
