Dr. Christopher Bowlby
 Christopher Bowlby has received recognition as a soloist and chamber musician, holding the highest degrees in piano performance from universities in the USA and Canada. As a winner of several young artists’ competitions, he was featured on Public Radio as a speaker and performer on stations in the mainland and Hawaii. His extensive repertoire encompasses the great romantic masterworks as well as new works by living composers, including John Corigliano, Jeff Junkinsmith, Laura Kaminsky, and Owen Bloomfield. Equally at home with chamber music literature, Mr. Bowlby performed Beethoven's Sonata in A major with cellist, Yo-Yo Ma and frequently performs four-hand and duo piano music with his wife, Ivona Kaminska-Bowlby. Dr. Bowlby has taught piano since 1993. Many of his students have been awarded scholarships at music programs from prominent colleges and universities in North America. Formerly, he taught at Mount Royal College, University of British Columbia, Shoreline Community College, and the University of Washington. Dr. Bowlby is currently the Program Director of the Chopin Academy of Music in Issaquah, Washington, and vice-president of the Seattle Int'l Piano Festival, which hosts, among other events, an international piano competition. He is also a member of the Washington Music Teachers' Association and is an active Washington state adjudicator.
