On June 12, 2009, Katya Grineva, Moscow-born pianist, graced the stage at Carnegie Hall for the 11th year and played a selection of romantic, solo piano pieces in honor of Adi Da Samraj who was a renowned writer, artist and spiritual teacher.
Her diversified program of music focused on some of her favorite romantic composers, including Chopin, Liszt and Schumann as well as Satie’s First Gymnopedie, Debussy’s Clair de Lune and Ravel’s Bolero. Her mastery of the piano and the subtlety and beauty of tone truly transported the audience to a state of bliss. The New York Times described her as “liquid…dreamlike.” One could feel that her music came from deep within her heart inspired by love. It was a magical evening with three encores and Katya was showered with bouquets of red roses at the end of her performance.
Not only does Katya play at concert halls and for presidents and dignitaries, but also for the impoverished and children around the world. She’s dedicated especially to exposing children to the beauty and benefits of classical music. As a result, there were many children of all ages at this concert and from looking at their facial expressions; they seemed to be enraptured by her music. It was delightful to see so many children present.
In summary of her achievements, Katya, a Steinway Artist, has been a soloist with the Acadiana Symphony, the ARS Nova Musicians Chamber Orchestra, the Manhattan Virtuosi Orchestra, the European Philharmonic Orchestra in France, the Guayaquil Symphonic Orchestra in Ecuador, and as a guest artist at Avery Fisher Hall. Her recitals have also captivated audiences at the Laurier Society in Paris and at the Salle Gaveau, one of Paris’s most prestigious concert halls. In addition to sharing her musical gift worldwide, she has been honored with many awards for her philanthropic efforts, most recently, with the Gusi Peace Prize awarded by Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, the President of the Philippines.
