Katya Grineva returns to the Fechin

-

THE TAOS ART MUSEUM at Fechin House welcomes world-celebrated pianist Katya Grineva back for three nights of piano performanc­es in the intimate setting of Nicolai Fechin’s hand-crafted home.

Known for her romantic piano, she has played throughout the United

States and internatio­nally and is the only female solo pianist to perform in the distinguis­hed Carnegie Hall Isaac Stern auditorium 20 times.

Born in Moscow, she studied piano at the Moscow Music School and then the School of Music at the Moscow Conservato­ry, where she studied with Professor Pavel Messner. She moved to

New York in 1989 and received a scholarshi­p to enter the Mannes School of Music graduate program.

She made her American debut in 1993 with a performanc­e of Mozart’s Piano Concerto, No. 27 in B-flat, K.595, accompanie­d by the Baltimore Symphony. In 1998, she made her Carnegie Hall debut. In 2006, she was chosen to exclusivel­y perform and record the world premieres of piano sonatas by romantic Viennese composer Marcel Tyberg.

She has been awarded the honorable title of Steinway Artist, a special honor from the New York State Shields.

This performanc­e will be followed by a champagne reception with Katya Grineva in the Fechin Studio. Tickets are $80 for members, $100 for nonmembers.

Seating is firmly limited to 30 each night and quickly sells out, so it is recommende­d that tickets be purchased in advance at taosartmus­eum.org/ events

Katya’s visit has been made possible by the generous support of John and Anita Briscoe.
