OKSANA KOLESNIKOVA SIGNS WITH THE
AUSTIN MODELS & TALENT AGENCYApril 26, 2006 - The Austin Models & Talent Agency signed this week the Siberian-born pianist and composer, Oksana Kolesnikova. Kolesnikova hails from Barnaul, Siberia, Russia, and relocated to the U.S. with her family in 1993. In 1999 she won the Florida State Young Artist Piano Competition with a fiery performance of a Sergei Rachmaninov's prelude, which earned her a scholarship to attend the prestigious School of Music at Florida State University from where she graduated with honors in 2001. Considered to be one of the world's most versatile and charismatic pianists since the times of Liberace, Kolesnikova is the only Russian-American female pianist to travel overseas to entertain the U.S. Troops. She completed two world tours (Europe, 2003; Asia, 2004) and is soon to travel to Egypt, Turkey, Italy and the Caribbean. Kolesnikova will appear on PBS throughout 2006 during an educational program on piano music. She's currently creating a 2 1/2 hour Las Vegas-style show that will premiere next year in New York City. Oksana has released six CDs to date, available through the Home Shopping Network and at select stores across the country. We are proud to introduce our association with Oksana and promise that Texas will experience her talents going forward.
