Pianist in Kitchener - Waterloo
About Me
Sam Domzella currently attends Wilfrid Laurier University, studying with Anya Alexeyev in pursuit of his bachelor’s degree in piano performance. He is active as a solo and chamber musician, as well as an accompanist and orchestral player. He also serves as the music director at Trinity United Church in Elmira.He was not particularly fond of the piano when he began playing, but he started to enjoy it at the age of 9, after he won a small scholarship at his local music festival. In 2023, he was the winner of the Ken Murray Concerto Competition at Laurier, affording him the opportunity to perform Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with both the Laurier Symphony and the Cambridge Symphony Orchestra. He is also a two-time recipient of the Dorothy M. Elliot Scholarship for Performance.His life in music has been guided by his teachers, family, and friends both within WLU and without, who continue to be an inspiration to him. Along with solo performance, he greatly enjoys chamber playing, having the good fortune both to play with several of his university peers in the past years, as well as attending chamber music programs in Ochsenhausen, Germany, and St. John’s, Newfoundland.
