- Vladimir Nikolaevich Drozdov (May 25, 1882 - March 11, 1960) was an American pianist and composer of Russian origin, and the co-founder of the Pushkin Society of America.
He was born in Saratov in the family of Nikolai Vasilyevich Drozdov (pianist and composer) and Olga Aleksandrovna Balmasheva-Drozdova (music teacher at the Saratov Musical College). He was the eldest child of three sons who became musicians. He studied music at the Saratov Musical College (now the Saratov Conservatory) and at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, where he studied in pianoforte from Russian pianist Anna Yesipova, and composition from Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. He also studied improvisation from Polish pianist and professor Theodore Leschetizky in Vienna.
Vladimir has performed in Russia and abroad. In 1907 he was a teacher of the Petrograd Conservatory, and as professor in the same conservatory for three years, from 1914 to 1917. In 1923 he settled in the United States, where he gave concerts and taught in his own studio in New York. He was married to Anna Drozdova, a talented graduate of the St. Petersburg Conservatory. Their children (daughter Natalia and son Pavel), were trained in music in their father's studio, and performed concerts both together and individually. He died in New York. His original manuscripts are in the Scientific Library of the St. Petersburg Conservatory and in his family's personal collection.
