She has performed more times than any other solo female pianist in the history of Carnegie Hall. Born in Moscow, Ms. Grineva began studying piano at the age of five. She attended the Moscow Music School and studied with prominent Professor Pavel Messnar under the aegis of the prestigious Moscow Conservatory. It was during her tutelage by Messner that she began giving recitals and experiencing the "special and spontaneous" interaction between that artist and the audience that is the hallmark of her music. Ms. Grineva captures the heart of audiences with a rare combination of vulnerability, poignance and effortless virtuosity. Through her music, Grineva says, "I want to be remembered for being able to touch people's lives - with a full heart."
