About GéNIA
Described by The Times as ‘an outstanding musician’ and Gramophone as ‘a charismatic pianist’, Russian virtuoso pianist and composer GéNIA has a wide ranging repertoire and an enthralling stage presence.
GéNIA comes from a distinguished line of Russian pianists and was taught by her great-grandmother, the renowned pianist Regina Horowitz followed by her studies at the Guildhall School of Music and Trinity College of Music.
With concert tours in the UK, Europe and USA, GéNIA’s London performance venues include the Wigmore Hall, Barbican, Southbank Centre, Olympia, Kings Place and St Martin in the Fields. GéNIA features as a soloist on the soundtracks of award-winning films "Paradise Grove" and "Bookcruncher" and her recordings and live interviews are regularly broadcast on BBC TV and Radio.
GéNIA is the founder of both the GéNIA MUSIC Piano School in London and Piano-Yoga® - a multi-dimensional method of piano playing, performing and teaching that Yoga & Health Magazine described as 'The first entirely new piano technique to emerge in over 50 years.'
GéNIA is also an active composer herself. Her EP “Dreams of Today, Thoughts of Tomorrow’ of solo piano compositions has recently been released to great acclaim and was broadcast on BBC Radio and played by Caffé Nero in all their branches worldwide as part of their classical repertoire playlist. "The great minds of De Beauvoir and Sartre float into my head as I drink in the deliciousness of GéNIA's music" – Jo Good, Radio & TV presenter.
Piano-Yoga Masterclasses
On the 3rd and 4th September GéNIA will be hosting Piano-Yoga® masterclasses in Nice and Monaco. Described by Yoga & Health magazine as 'The first entirely new piano technique to emerge in over 50 years', GéNIA will share her teaching on the topics of Efficient Practice with Piano-Yoga®; Combating Stage Fright with Piano-Yoga® and Musician's Body Mapping that will help musicians to learn how to pinpoint their personal strengths and weaknesses (as well as those of their students) and work on those.
The masterclass is open not only to piano players, but musicians of all instrument types. It is intended for professional musicians, students, teachers and intermediate to advanced amateur players.
The masterclass will also contain a question and answer session, where GéNIA will be available for any queries and feedback and will conclude with a short performance from GéNIA.
The first ten participants will get the Piano-Yoga® eBook ‘Transform Your Hands: A complete ten week course of piano exercises’ that is central to the Piano-Yoga® Method.
