Eugenie Malek began her career in New York City, concertizing since the age of five. She received her degrees in Piano Performance from Oberlin and Juilliard, where she studied with Irwin Freundlich and Emil Danenberg and participated in master classes with Alfred Brendel, Claude Frank, and Aaron Copland.

She joined the piano faculty of Smith College for ten years, and she also has taught piano at the University of Massachusetts and the Williston Northampton School. She has continuously run her own private-teaching studio from which several of her students have won competitions, prizes and honorary performances. She has been teaching piano at Mount Holyoke College since 1995.

Ms. Malek is a founder/director of the regional Piano Ensemble Festival which features piano concertos, two-piano and four-hand repertoire, and chamber music with piano. In the summer she performs and coaches chamber music both here and in the Czech Republic.
