Event information

Known for her exceptionally creative and exciting projects, pianist Veneta Neynska is one of the most emotionally engaging and intellectually captivating pianists of her generation. Her fine and thoughtful interpretations of short pieces in the Brevitas solo album, elegant series of black-and-white musical videos and profound renderings of Franz Schubert’s complete piano sonatas are among the many fascinating pianistic endeavors Veneta has offered her appreciative audience.

Reaching out for inspiration to both traditional and contemporary visual arts, literature, architecture and poetry, Veneta Neynska’s music-making has been described by her audience as “sensational”, “graceful and full of nuances’, “outstanding”, “deep and profound”, “beyond magical” and more. Part of her interpretations can be found on her YouTube channel, gorgeously shot by her long-term artistic companion Jassen Haralampiev. The videos contain music by Franck, Mendelssohn, Debussy, Liszt, Chopin, Vladiguerov, Schubert-Liszt and are presented as a one-shot, black-and-white films offering the viewers an extremely intimate experience as close to a live performance as possible.

A graduate of her native city’s music school with the highest achievement award of a National Diploma, Veneta has continued her education under John Perry at the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music in Los Angeles, CA and afterwards with Joan Havill at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, UK. Major influences on her development as a musician have been extensive work with Bulgarian pianists Gina Tabakova and Vesko Stambolov along with masterclasses with prominent musicians such as Imogen Cooper, Jerome Lowenthal, Alexei Nasedkin, Dominique Merlet, and others.
