“An impressive artist with remarkable, unfailing musicality always moving with the most natural, electrifying, and satisfying interpretations” – Charles Rosen
Born and raised in Kiev, Sasha Grynyuk started his first music lessons in the School of Arts No.3 with Irina Shirokova and later in the Lysenko Special Music School and National Music Academy of Ukraine where his teachers were Natalia Gridneva and Boris Fedorov.
After moving to London in 2002 he continued his studies at the Guildhall School of Music with Ronan O’Hora from where he graduated with the Gold Medal — the school’s most prestigious award.
Sasha Grynyuk has performed around the world in many major venues including Wigmore Hall, the Wiener Konzerthaus, Weil Recital Hall (Carnegie Hall), Teatro Real (Rio de Janeiro), the Barbican and the Royal Festival Hall.
He has performed with such orchestras as the Royal Philharmonic, Bergen Philharmonic, Orchestra Sinfonica Brasiliera and Kyiv Philharmonic and the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine.
Sasha has won many prizes and awards. His competition successes included First Prizes at the Grieg International Piano Competition in Norway and at the BNDES International Piano Competition in Brazil.
His recording of music by Gould and Gulda for Piano Classics was chosen as the record of the month for the German magazine Piano News and shortlisted for the New York Classical.
Among ongoing projects is the performance of the original piano score by Shostakovich for the 1929 silent film The New Babylon, written and directed by Grigori Kozintsev and Leonid Trauberg, which Sasha premiered live at LSO St. Luke’s in London.
“Sasha Grynyuk was in stunning form throughout, bringing tonal variety along with symphonic unity rendered with feeling and remarkable precision. If the Russian musicians of 1929 could not keep up with Shostakovich’s furious tempos this was never a problem for Grynyuk” — Classical Source.
