| Biography: | "Jenya Trubnikava was born in Grodno, Belarus. Her recent participation list as collaborative pianist/coach includes Minnesota Opera, Merner Classical Music Concert Series, LOFTrecital, Schubert Club Courtroom Series, and Minnesota Orchestra Chamber Music Series. Jenya is an avid promoter of Slavic operatic and art song repertoire. She is engaged as Russian repertoire/diction coach at the Minnesota Opera Resident Artists Program and consults in Minnesota and beyond. Her capstone project at the University of Minnesota, an anthology of Belarusian opera arias, is an attempt to make this part of vocal literature accessible for educators, beginners, and professional musicians alike. Trubnikava joined the piano faculty of the St. John’s University in 2013. Since 2007 she has been the principal pianist with the St. Cloud Symphony Orchestra, and was featured as a soloist in Francis Poulenc’s Concert Champêtre under the baton of Andrew Altenbach. In 2016 she co-founded the ensemble Esperanza, and has performed in over twenty nursing homes and assisted living facilities across the Metro Area. Jenya holds her undergraduate and graduate degrees in Piano Performance from Belarus National Academy of Music with the additional postgraduate study with Martin Christ at the University of Arts in Zurich, Switzerland; and her D.M.A. in Collaborative Piano from the University of Minnesota, where she studied with Timothy Lovelace and Noriko Kawai. |
