Mūza Rubackytė, a French-Lithuanian pianist, lives in Paris, Vilnius, and Geneva. A graduate of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, she won the All-Union Competition in Saint Petersburg and the Grand Prix at the Budapest Liszt-Bartók International Piano Competition. As a member of the resistance in Lithuania, she was unable to leave the USSR until 1989, when she arrived in France and earned her concert pianist diploma from the École Normale de Musique de Paris. After winning First Prize in Piano at the Les Grands Maîtres Français International Competition in 1990, her career took her to every continent, where she collaborated with renowned conductors and orchestras. 

She is frequently invited to serve as chair or jury member for major international competitions—including those in Cleveland, Budapest, Utrecht, Weimar, and Pretoria—and founded the “Lisztofonija” competition in Vilnius. In 2022, she chaired the “Eurovision Competition for Young Musicians.” In 2024, she was invited as artist-in-residence at the Gilmore Piano Festival (USA).
 

In Lithuania, Mūza has received several awards recognizing her commitment to independence and her role as a cultural ambassador. She is the founder and artistic director of the Vilnius Piano Festival, the next edition of which will take place in 2027.

In 2024, Mūza, founder and president of LISZTuania and a passionate interpreter of Franz Liszt’s works, was awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Merit by the Hungarian President.
Mūza Rubackytė’s repertoire spans more than forty programs for solo piano, chamber music, and concertos. Her discography includes more than thirty-five recordings, which have been honored with numerous prestigious awards, such as the Hungarian Liszt Society Grand Prix, the Diapason d’Or, Télérama’s 4 ffff, and Classica’s 5 *****, among others.
In 2021, an autobiographical book titled “Born Under a Piano” (Ovadia Editions) was published.  
In 2024, “MŪZA,” a musical documentary film dedicated to her (Fralita Films) and shot in Lithuania, Hungary, Russia, the U.S., Geneva, and Paris, was successfully screened in France and several other countries, including the U.S., Lithuania, and Monaco, among others.
In Paris, the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs filmed a segment featuring Mūza for the series “La France vue par …” (France as Seen by …).  
Mūza has been the patron of the musical seasons at the Maison de Debussy in Saint-Germain-en-Laye since its historic restoration in 2023.

In March 2024, she performed a major symphonic concert at the Cathedral of Les Invalides in Paris to launch “The Season of Lithuania in France,” an initiative spearheaded by the presidents of both republics. From September through November, with the support of cultural institutes, she gave six recitals titled “From the Baltic to the Adriatic, from Vilnius to Venice” across France, from north to south, thereby fulfilling her role as an ambassador of Lithuanian culture.
