ABOUT THE ARTIST

North Carolinian pianist OLGA KLEIANKINA enjoys a rich musical life of a performer, pedagogue and researcher. She is currently the Teaching Professor and the Director of the Piano Program at North Carolina State University. Kleiankina is the member of the Outstanding Teachers Academy. She is the recipient of the 2016 Outstanding Teacher Award and the 2021 Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Professor Award at NC State University. Kleiankina is the author and a visionary of the Piano+ App, a resource for beginning piano learners. As a researcher, she is interested in cross-discipline collaborations with engineering, computer science, health and educational psychology. Kleiankina has presented in regional and national conferences sponsored by Music Teachers National Association, College Music Society and American Technology in Music Association. 

Being a passionate musician and an eclectic performer, Kleiankina’s interests range from historic keyboard practice to new music.  Her international career evolved with solo and visual recitals, chamber music collaborations and concertos with orchestras in Russia, Moldova, Romania, Hungary, Greece, France, Chile and across the United States.  She has performed under the baguette of conductors Emil Simon, Robert Houlihan, Zsolt Janko, Randolph Foy, Peter Askim and Jeffrey Meyer. In her  performance project “...Our Passage to the Stars…”, she collaborated with Emil Polyak, professor of graphic design at Drexel University, who created an Artificial Intelligence software that translated the live sound from the piano into an independent real-time behavior of a 3D visual structure. This project was received with great enthusiasm at the Smithsonian Museum in D.C., the North Carolina Museum of Art and the 2019 CMS conference. The CD album with the same title "...Our Passage to the Stars..." was released by Blue Griffin/Albany in July 2019. 

Kleiankina is an enthusiastic performer of new music promoting works of living composers. Her new CD Abstractum, created in collaboration with flutist Kelariz Keshavarz features works for flute and piano by Alireza Mashayekhi, a prominent Iranian composer. Kleiankina has appeared in new music festivals such as 2002 Sigismund Toduta Festival in Romania, 2010 Sound Ways Festival in St. Petersburg, Russia, 2012 New Music Festival in Moldova, 2014 Modern Music Festival in Santiago, Chile, 2021 World Flutes Festival XIII Edition in Argentina and 2021 Simpósio Internacional de Música Nova 2021 in Brazil.

Kleiankina completed her early musical training in St. Neaga College of Music in Moldova, and the Academy of Music Gh. Dima in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, followed by a Master degree from Bowling Green State University and a Doctorate of Musical Arts from the University of Michigan. Her teachers have included Ninuca Pop and Ferdinand Weiss in Romania, Maxim Mogilevsky, John Ellis, Penelope Crawford and Arthur Greene in the United States.
