— Witty Lithuanian pianist Ieva Jokubaviciute is known for her deep musical and emotional commitment to a wide range of repertoire. She performs regularly for audiences in the U.S., Europe, and South America.

Ieva’s ability to communicate the essential substance of a work has led critics to describe her as “elegant and engaging” and possessing razor-sharp intelligence and wit.

In 2006, Ieva was honored as a recipient of a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship. In 2005, Jokubaviciute made her Chicago Symphony debut, and appeared as a guest artist at Carnegie’s Weill Hall on National Public Radio’s “Performance Today”, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and toured with Musicians from Marlboro.

In 2009, her piano ensemble Trio Cavatina won the Naumburg Chamber Music Award. Jokubaviciute is also a collaborative pianist at the Steans Institute for Young Artists at the Ravinia Festival, and serves on the piano faculty of the Bard College Conservatory of Music Preparatory Division.
