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. And the critics couldn't get enough: "powerhouse sounds, forceful musical personality, and sheer virtuosity...had this critic on the edge off his seat" (Musical America); "a performance of rare devotion and insight" (Onstage NTX); "a fresh version...that had this listener hanging on every bar" (La Scena). 

Accolades ensued-- Musical America named her Young Artist of the Month in July 2022 and Pianist magazine featured her on the cover in June 2023-- and invitations from well-respected institutions followed. Recent and upcoming highlights include debut recitals for Washington Performing Arts at the Kennedy Center, Wiener Konzerthaus, Tonhalle Zurich, and the Bravo! Vail and Grand Teton Music Festivals, and collaborations with the Taipei and Lithuanian Symphony Orchestras and conductors Gábor Takács-Nagy, Eliahu Inbal, and Miguel Harth-Bedoya. Anna's newest album-- a deeply personal project of lullabies spanning several centuries-- is released in September 2023. 

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 developed a diverse and versatile career as an artist: performances in major venues in North and South America, Europe, and Asia; and a dedication to chamber music, including duo piano repertoire with her husband, Lukas Geniušas. She currently resides in Lithuania with her husband and their two sons.
