Oxana Yablonskaya

Oxana Yablonskaya (Russian: Оксана Михайловна Яблонская, born December 6, 1938) is a Russian pianist who has had an active international performance career since the early 1960s. She began her career in the USSR and, although winning several important competitions in the West, was denied by the Soviet government to accept any performance engagements outside of the Soviet block. Frusturated by her career limitations, she emigrated to the United States in 1977.
