Anna Geniushene’s fresh, layered, and powerful interpretations defined her participation at the 2022 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition—and won her the coveted silver medal and the adoration of fans around the globe. Critics praised her “powerhouse sound, forceful musical personality, and sheer virtuosity” (Musical America) and likened her performance to “Cliburn at his best” (Gramophone).

Born in Moscow on New Year’s Day in 1991, Anna made her recital debut just seven years later in the small hall of the Berlin Philharmonic. She has since performed in major venues throughout Europe and North America. The 2024 season features her debut in Washington, DC, and multiple engagements across the United States; an Asian tour including solo recitals in Singapore, China, and Taiwan; the season opening in Florence with Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto under Gabor Takacs-Nagy; her debut at the Vienna Konzerthaus; and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.

Also, an enthusiastic teacher, Anna Geniushene served as assistant professor at the Moscow Conservatory until 2022. She currently resides in Lithuania with her husband, pianist Lukas Geniušas, and their two young sons.
