TIMELINE
Yana Pisarchuk is a composer, pianist, and educator who writes music for piano, ensembles, choirs, and orchestras. As a musician with a multicultural background, she brings to her music uniqueness, beauty, and personal style that people can notice in every beat. She got her BM in Composition at Portland State University with teaching, performing, and conducting as a second area.
Yana was born in Kyrgyz SSR (now Kyrgyzstan). Since childhood, music was an instrument she used to convey her thoughts, ideas, and feelings. Yana got her first experience of music by listening to guitar and accordion music played by her father. Growing up as a music lover, she started to write her own pieces for piano and voice but kept them concealed from others for some quiet time. At 15, she graduated from Children's Music School in Kyrgyzstan and dreamed about pursuing a college music degree. After moving to the U.S., Yana became a mother of three children and gave all her attention to her family. Years later, still not losing hope to pursue music, she got her Associate of Arts at Lower Columbia College in Washington State. Then having a great desire to write more music, she earned her Bachelor of Music in Composition at Portland State University.
She met a lot of people, among them were her professors, other professional musicians, as well as just amateurs in music, but all of them were saying that Yana’s music has its own signature that makes her compositions don’t sound like any other.
Now Yana is working as a freelance composer with much love and passion for music. She is working on new pieces along with her already-written ones and is hoping to share them with the world.
Philosophy and Vision
At the core of Yana's artistic philosophy is a deep belief in the power of music to transcend boundaries and touch the human spirit. Her compositions aim to evoke profound emotions, stimulate introspection, and create meaningful connections with listeners. With a vision to enrich and inspire audiences, Yana strives to create timeless compositions that resonate with people from all walks of life.
