Pianist Eva Mengelkoch has performed extensively in chamber music ensembles, solo recitals, and as an accompanist on modern and historic keyboard instruments in North America, Central America, India, and throughout western and central Europe.  Venues include Saint-Martin-in-the-Fields in London, Mendelssohn-Haus in Leipzig, Tata-Theatre in Bombay, Liszt-Academy in Budapest, Teatro Nacional in Managua, and Chicago’s Cultural Center.

Mengelkoch has recorded for the Beoton and Centaur labels. Her latest CD, released in 2009, features sonatas by Joseph Haydn performed on Hammerklavier and modern piano; it is included in the Naxos Music Library and has been broadcast on public radio stations in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Early Music America describes her artistry as “formidable on both instruments, technically brilliant and poetically distinctive.”

Recent engagements include a concert at the Mendelssohn-Year-Festival in Leipzig, a recital on Liszt’s grand piano at the Bayreuther Sommerklavierfestival, and a performance with soprano Julianne Baird at the Gotham Early Music Showcase in New York City.  She founded and continues to serve as the artistic director of Baltimore’s Cylburn Chamber Music Series.

Mengelkoch studied with British pianist Michael Roll at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen, and received her graduate degrees at Indiana University as a student of Leonard Hokanson (piano) and Elisabeth Wright (fortepiano and harpsichord).

She is a recipient of a 2008 Performing Artist Award from the Maryland State Arts Council.  In 1999 she joined the music faculty at Towson University where she teaches piano, accompanying, keyboard literature, and piano pedagogy; she also serves as the coordinator of the keyboard division.
