Lucy Scarbrough’s early piano studies were with her
mother. When 16, Lucy studied with Sylvio Scionti of
New York and later with Russian pianist Maurice
Lichtman. At the American Conservatory of Music in
Chicago, she received the Conservatory’s top prize,
the John R. Hattstadt Award for outstanding
musicianship. At the Conservatory, she studied with
Beatrice Eppinelle, Hans Levy Heniot and the
internationally recognized musician Leo Sowersby. In
competition, she won the honor of playing with the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Evanston Symphony
Orchestra. After receiving her degrees at the
Conservatory, she taught at the Chicago Musical
College and continued her studies with the
internationally known pianist and founder of the
Chicago Musical College, Rudolph Ganz.

Scarbrough is known for her standing-room-only
concerts, and has been called “...a soloist of rare
power and sensitivity.” (El Paso Times) Other
