Natasha Paremski most recently visited the North Carolina Symphony to perform Schubert's "Trout" Quintet for a streaming concert in 2020.


Pianist Natasha Paremski is a regular return guest of orchestras including the Minnesota Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Grant Park Festival, Oregon Symphony, Colorado Symphony, Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. She has performed with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, among many others, and has toured extensively in Europe and appeared with the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra in Taipei. 

Paremski is a regular recital partner of Grammy-winning cellist Zuill Bailey. Their 2014 recording of Britten’s Cello Sonata debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Classical Chart. The album also included Britten’s Cello Symphony, recorded by Bailey with the North Carolina Symphony. Other recordings include Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 and Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and a sonata written for her by Gabriel Kahane.

Paremski was named a Gilmore Young Artist at age 18. In 2010, she was recognized as the Classical Recording Foundation’s Young Artist of the Year. She has also participated in Twin Spirits, a project starring Sting and Trudie Styler that explores the music and writing of Robert and Clara Schumann, which was released on DVD.

Born in Moscow, Paremski began her piano studies at the age of four and moved to the United States at the age of eight, becoming a U.S. citizen shortly thereafter. At the age of 15, she debuted with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and recorded two discs with Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra. After studying at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, she graduated from Mannes School of Music and is now based in New York. She is Artistic Director of the New York Piano Society, a non-profit organization that supports pianists whose professions lie outside of music.
