Childhood

Ethella Chupryk was born in Vynohradiv, Zakarpattia Oblast, in a musical family. At the age of three, Etelka made a lifelong friendship with the piano. By the age of five she performed her first public concert performing Chopin's Waltz No. 7 in C sharp minor and Schubert's "Serenade".

After finishing musical school (at Judith Gergely’s class) and musical college (at Mary Valkovsky’s class), in 1986 she entered the Mykola Lysenko Conservatory in Lviv; she became an internationally renowned pianist under the supervision of Maryna Kryh.[2], piano professor of the Conservatory. Then she took master classes at the Moscow Conservatory with pianist teachers such as Yevgeny Malinyin, Vera Gornostayeva, Vladimir Viardo and Vladimir Krajnyev.

Etelka became laureate at several international competitions: 1988 - Lysenko Competition in Kyiv (First Prize) 1990 - Rakhmaninov Competition in Moscow (Third Prize) 1991 - Liszt Competition in Budapest (Third Prize).

Achievements

Shortly after starting her studies in Lviv, Chupryk began to compete in a number of international piano competitions. In 1988 she took first place at the Mykola Lysenko International Music Competition. In 1990, she traveled to Moscow to compete in what was then known as the All-Union Rachmaninov Competition and the precursor to the Sergey Rachmaninov International Piano Competition.[3] Here she took third place.[4] In September 1991 she was awarded third place at the Franz Liszt International Piano Competition in Budapest.[5] .

In 1994 she was awarded a gold medal and prize at the International Competition for Pianists in Memory of Vladimir Horowitz in Kiev. Then she received an honorary bursary from the Richard Wagner association exhibitioner (Bayreuth, Germany, 1998).

At that time, she gave concerts in several European countries. She worked with renowned conductors including András Ligeti, Jerzy Salvarovsky, Robert de Koning, Karol Stryja and Jansug Kakhidze. In her repertoire, you can always find compositions by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, Bartók, Kodály and Chopin.

She published more than 30 CDs consisting of outstanding works of music literature at record labels Naxos, Philips, Amadis and IJMPS.

She was a professor at the Mykola Lysenko National Conservatory in Lviv and pianist in the Philharmonic Orchestra of Lviv County and Subcarpathian County.

In 1994, in recognition of this artistic work, she was named “Honoured Artist of Ukraine”, in 2016 – “Folk Artist of Ukraine”.
