Dr. Maddox was invited to perform at the Liszt International Festival at California State University in Northridge, Los Angeles in summer 2016. Previously, Svetlana gave a solo recital at the Chopin International Festival in El Paso, Texas in fall 2009.
Svetlana’s numerous concerts across the US resulted in articles, interviews, and concert reviews that appeared in magazines and newspapers in New York, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, and Idaho. In summer 2014 Svetlana went on an international concert tour that began with her performance at Merkin Concert Hall in New York City and continued with a performance at the International Pushkin Festival at the Chekhov Theater and a solo recital at the National Organ Hall in Chisinau, Moldova, and a lecture-recital and master class at the famous Franz Liszt University of Music in Budapest, Hungary. Svetlana was one of the featured Artists in the Stars of Steinway Concert Series in 2019, 2017, 2015, and 2014.

Svetlana earned her Doctorate degree in Piano Performance from the University of Arizona (with Professor Nicholas Zumbro and Dr. Rex Woods). The subject of her dissertation was the famous masterpiece by Modest Mussorgsky “Pictures at an Exhibition.” While living in New York in 2004-2009, Svetlana studied privately with the renowned international concert pianist, Professor Bella Davidovich of Juilliard School. Svetlana also holds two Master’s Degrees in Piano Performance: from The Gnesins Academy of Music in Moscow, Russia and from Boise State University (with Dr. Del Parkinson).
