Mitchell Rabin Interviews Classical Pianist Katya Grineva
from A Better World with Mitchell J. Rabin · host A Better World with Mitchell J. Rabin
Wed., Dec. 5, 6pm, EST: In honor of beautiful music and its profound effect on our health and on the soul, Mitchell has invited back the beautiful classical, Romantic pianist, Katya Grineva. When a teenager, Katya came to New York in 1989, she had two goals: to study in America and one day, to play in Carnegie Hall. Living most of her adult life in NY, she acquired a reputation as a pianist of exceptional romantic/poetic expression. Commentators agree that Katya achieves her impact at the piano more through subtlety rather than by force. Above all, she values the beauty of tone. She stresses a suppleness and a natural approach to the keyboard. Her interpretation and mastery of the piano can be summed up by the following: ‘ with Katya you sink into the sweet abyss of the music…’ Born in Moscow, Ms. Grineva began studying piano at the age of six, attending the Moscow Music School. She went on to the Moscow High School of Music under the aegis of the prestigious Moscow Conservatory. Other awards include: a special award from the New York State Shields in 2003 and, most recently, an award for special achievements from the government of Guam. Katya is often invited as a guest performer on the exclusive “Silver Sea” and “Radisson Seven Seas” cruise lines on which she travels through Europe and South America and the South Pacific. She has since played all over Asia including for Presidents of countries and most often Katya plays charity concerts for charities around the country and the world for the benefit of children. Katya will be playing at Carnegie Hall for her 18th year on Dec. 27.
