By the age of 16, Mr. Novgorodsky had won the First Prize at the Kazakhstan National Piano Competition, and later the Gold Medal of the National Festival of the Arts. In 1990, he graduated from the studio of Professor Victor Merzhanov at Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory with high honors and qualifications of concert pianist, chamber musician and teacher. In 1992, he was offered a full scholarship to study at Yale University School of Music. While at Yale, he received four Distinguished Honorary Awards for the best piano recitals and a Special Faculty Prize to an outstanding pianist in the graduating class. In 1998, he was granted the "Extraordinary Abilities in the Arts" permanent US residence. Dmitri Novgorodsky became an American citizen in 2004.
