Biography

Her mother was a music teacher. During an interview, Lola said:

”We had an old upright at home so she used to play it from time to time, and I used to stare at her and think: “It would be so nice to play that thing!”

At age 6, Astanova began studying at the V. Uspensky Specialized School of Music for Gifted Children in Uzbekistan under renowned piano professor Tamara Popovich.

In addition, Lola often went to Moscow to study at the Tchaikovsky Moscow State Conservatory.

Lola took lessons with Lev Naumov.

According to Naumov:

“Lola Astanova possesses a rare and truly ingenious intuitive ability. Chopin performed by Lola is simply outstanding.”

In 1996, Astanova was the Laureate of the International Chopin Competition for Young Pianists in Moscow.

In 2003, she left Uzbekistan and moved to Houston, USA, to study piano. In her words:

“I left my motherland because it is better to be a complete failure in democracy, than an icon for millions in despotism.”

In another interview, she declared:

”I moved to the United States because I wanted to pursue my professional career and there was no other country in the world that could have given me such opportunities.”

At age 8, she started touring as a concert pianist. Astanova performed in Russia, Austria, Italy, France, and Germany, in both performances with orchestras and solo programs.

After moving to the United States, her big break came after she starred in the Neiman Marcus Classical Superstars Fantasy Concert, which was hosted by Regis Philbin.

This amazing concert was offered for $1.6 million and was featured in the 100th-anniversary issue of the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book.

Quotes

”I’m a musician, and I’m an artist, so obviously, at this point, I don’t go into politics. I do have my opinions, but I would rather not go into politics about what’s right and wrong.”

“There were times when things weren’t going so well, that I had to convince everybody that this was indeed what I wanted to do.”

”I decided very early in my career that I would never do “routine” or “boring” concerts and that every performance would be special and memorable.”

”Chopin, for example, my hero, whose music I love and play, could spend untold amounts of money on gloves. Rachmaninoff or Puccini were known for their impeccable fashion styles. They were always dressed impeccably in the latest suits, the latest fabrics.”

”In the music world, this is how you get your name out, word of mouth. You perform, people talk about you, and then you get invited to do more events, and you get invited to other venues and concerts, and conductors know about you.”

”In my mind, Chopin equals piano. Sometimes it even feels like the piano was invented specifically for his music. In some ways, Chopin’s compositions are the epitome of the piano repertoire.”

”Classical music has always been associated with this almost sad, nonexistent style.”

”The truth is it takes a bit more than high heels and a short skirt to play this kind of music with passion.”
