Armenian-American pianist Dzovig Markarian is a soloist, collaborative artist and teacher, who is currently enjoying a versatile career in the Los Angeles music scene.

After earning a BFA and an MFA in Multi-Focus Keyboard Performance from California Institute of the Arts, and working with CalArts based ensembles and orchestras, Dzovig has gone on to collaborate with various composers, and chamber music ensembles.

Most recent engagements include performances with the Dilijan Chamber Music Series, the Felici Trio, the Formalist Quartet, Ensemble Green, and the Xtet. Dzovig has also been a guest at Elliott Carter's Centenary Festival Concert at REDCAT, and with the Women's Committee at the LA Philharmonic Orchestra.

Dzovig's fascination with the evolution of new music has led to ongoing partnerships with composers such as Artur Avanesov, Vatche Sharafyan, Jeffrey Holmes and Victoria Bond, in premiering their works, and extraordinary musicians such as Mark Menzies (violin/viola/piano), Tom Peters (double bass), and Jacqui Bobak (mezzo-soprano) in exploring and programming repertoire by experimentalists, new complexity composers, as welll as women composers.

As a teacher, Dzovig keeps a private studio where she coaches vocalists and instrumentalists, and teaches piano technique and performance. Dzovig is a former student of Roubina Artinian, Arpie Tcheroyan, Theodora Primes, Patricia Mabee, Liam Viney and Vicki Ray.
