Tamara Anna Cislowska

Tamara Anna Cislowska is an Australian concert pianist. She has performed across most of the world, including the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, Germany, Colombia, Greece, The Netherlands and Poland, and has associated with the Philharmonia, the London Philharmonic and Romanian Philharmonic orchestras as well as all six major Australian symphonies.

Cislowska was taught the rudiments of the piano by her mother, Neta Maughan, AM. She emerged as a child prodigy, giving her first public performance at age two. She began recording material for ABC Radio at three years of age. Her mother then sent her to a different teacher, Nancy Salas, because she felt her daughter was copying her own students' idiosyncrasies too well. She won the 1991 ABC Symphony Australia Young Performers Awards, Australia's most prestigious classical music award, at the age of 14, becoming the youngest pianist ever to do so.

She has received a number of awards and honors for her work and has been a major prizewinner at several international piano competitions, including the Rovere d'Oro, Maria Callas and National World Power. Her work has received three nominations for ARIA awards for "Best Classical Release".

Cislowska's recordings include five solo albums on the Artworks label, including The Enchanted Isle, The Persian Hours and The Russians. She has contributed to albums with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
