Nina McIntire

Fans and followers of Nina McIntire who describe the ease with which she performs on the piano as 'child's play' could often be taken literally. This talented artist and performer, born and raised in St. Petersburg, Russia was playing her first songs on the piano almost before she could walk. Her extraordinary musical talent certainly did not go unnoticed, when, at the tender age of four she took up the violin, the instrument which accompanied her during her professional musical studies in St. Petersburg and Moscow and marked the beginning of a seemingly endless successful musical career.

At the age of 24 she completed her degree in Master of the Fine Arts at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow and soon became an accomplished and extremely sought-after Violin Soloist, giving concerts world-wide, particularly in Japan, Mexico and many parts of Europe. As a member of several prestigious chamber music ensembles she has also made her mark in the recording music industry, especially with one of Germany's biggest classical concert institutions 'Villa Musica'. As an educator, she taught at the Modest Mussorgsky Music Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Frankfurt on Main School of Music, Germany. As a first violinist in the renowned German State Philharmonic Orchestra Rhineland-Palatinate she performed on the stages of Tokyo and Beijing through Europe and North America till Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires.

Her love for the piano has never waned and she has recently been very active on the international music scene as a composer and pianist, presenting her latest project 'Ivory Fantasy'- a fascinating combination of classical music and her own compositions arranged in a revolutionary modern style, integrating a variety of musical genres such as jazz, rock, pop, etc. This combination of classical and modern music reveals a unique quality of freshness which gives it an especially appealing character. Nina accompanies her piano performances on stage with her artistic vivid and colorful videos or she integrates percussion.

McIntire's innovative and original compositions, together with her joy of performing and passion in presentation spark an ever-growing enthusiasm for this type of music. The 'ivory enchantress' has succeeded in creating a vivid blend of the traditional classical genre and modern, popular music, fascinating and inspiring young and old alike.

The popularity of "Ivory Fantasy" is broadly reflected on social media platforms and the extremely successful concerts series in Europe and the United States.
