Acclaimed Russian pianist Katya Grineva returns to Carnegie Hall for her highly anticipated "A Classical Holiday" concert for one night only, Wednesday, December 27, at 8pm. Celebrating her 21st Stern Auditorium appearance, Katya has performed at the venue more than any other female artist. In what has become a seasonal tradition for local New York City families and tourists alike, Katya's festive concert is a highlight of the holiday season. Katya's playing is hailed for its fluidity and abundance of poetic expression. A "noted exponent of Romantic repertoire" (WNYC Radio), she captures audiences with her breathless, ethereal concerts.
