Tamara Anna Cislowska (born 1977) is an Australian concert pianist and chamber musician. 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.
Taught by her mother, Cislowska's career emerged as a child prodigy. She gave her first public performance at age two and began recording material, for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Radio, at three years of age. She received the 1991 ABC "Young Performers' Award", Australia's most prestigious classical music award, at the age of 14, becoming the youngest pianist ever to do so.[1]
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. She has contributed to albums with the Sydney Symphony, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic.
As a recitalist she has performed at the Purcell Room in London, the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House, the Kleine Zaal of the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and in New York at the Frick Collection and Carnegie Hall.
Her mother, Neta Maughan, is an accomplished piano teacher. The Australian opera singer Eva Mylott (1875-1920), grandmother of Mel Gibson, was a relative of Cislowska's family.[2]
