Quynh Nguyen (Vietnamese: Nguyễn Thuý Quỳnh) is a classical pianist of Vietnamese descent. She first studied at the Hanoi Conservatory, and made her orchestral debut at age 11; she went on to receive a scholarship at Moscow's Gnessin State Musical College (where she studied with Oleg Musorin), and continued her studies at the Juilliard School, and Mannes College of Music.[1][2] She made her New York debut in 2001; American piano critic Harris Goldsmith reviewed her performance of Chopin in favorable terms, comparing her to pianists such as Ignaz Friedman, Murray Perahia, and Arthur Rubinstein.[3] She received a Fulbright Scholarship during 2004-2005 to study in France for a project entitled "Messiaen and the Eastern Influence on his Music".[4]
