About the Artists:

Laureate of numerous national and international competitions, Teodora Adzharova’s career has taken her to multiple performance venues in the United States, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Macedonia and the Czech Republic. Currently based in Baltimore, MD, she has established herself as one of the most sought- after chamber musicians in the Baltimore, MD-Washington, D.C. region, frequently collaborating with musicians from both the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Some of Dr. Adzharova’s recent performances include appearances at Catholic University, York College, Bulgarian Embassy in Washington, D.C., Novi Sad, Washington College, Towson University, University of Maryland, and Silo Hill. On many occasions, Dr. Adzharova’s recordings have been broadcast on American Public Media’s Performance Today.

Dr. Adzharova’s 2024–2025 season will feature the release of her debut solo album dedicated to the music of Dmitri Shostakovich. The CD will include the composer’s Preludes, Op. 34 and Piano Sonata, Op. 61. One of the few pianists who performs both of Shostakovich’s piano sonatas in a single program, Dr. Adzharova presented a lecture-recital of the repertoire at the World Piano Conference (Serbia, June 2023) and the DiMenna Center in New York in the Spring of 2024.

In 2019, Dr. Adzharova’s dedication to chamber music and community engagement led her to become the Co-founder and Co-Artistic Director of the Annunciation Cathedral Concert Series. Each season, the series provides inventive and accessible classical music programming to the Baltimore community and promotes high-caliber artists from the region.

As a passionate educator, Dr. Adzharova serves as a Visiting lecturer in Piano at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and is a member of the piano faculty at the Peabody Preparatory. She is a board member of GBMTA and has served as an adjudicator for Thomas Hulbert International piano competition, NVMTA, GBMTA, HCPTA, and WIPAC competitions.

Dr. Adzharova holds piano performance degrees from the Peabody Institute (DMA, 2020; Performance Diploma, 2013; MM, 2011) where she studied with Ellen Mack.
