Dr. Dmitry Rachmanov is the Chair of Keyboard at CSU Northridge. Dr. Rachmanov has served on the faculties of Manhattan School of Music, Roosevelt University, and has appeared as a guest artist/lecturer at The Juilliard School, New England Conservatory, Royal Northern College of Music (UK), Beijing Central and Shanghai Conservatories.

Rachmanov has appeared at New York's Carnegie Hall, Washington DC's Kennedy Center, London's Barbican and South Bank Centres, in major halls of China, and was soloist with London Soloists Chamber Orchestra, Ukraine National Symphony, National Orchestra of Porto and Vidin Sinfonietta in Bulgaria, among others.

Rachmanov is the President of the Scriabin Society of America, and he has given world tours featuring the music of Alexander Scriabin. His April 2014 recital at Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall was called “a ‘poem of ecstasy’ in every sense: giant in conception, quantity, quality, execution, thoughtfulness, and sensitivity” by the New York Concert Review. He has since embarked on a project of recording a video anthology of Alexander Scriabin’s piano works.
