Evgeniya Kleyn is a versatile pianist who regularly performs as a chamber musician and has collaborated with artists such as Camille Thomas, Alexey Stadler, and Julian Prégardien, with whom she performed songs by Franz Schubert at the Liedstadt Festival. In addition to her concert activities, Evgeniya accompanies master classes and has worked with outstanding musicians such as Prof. W. E. Schmidt, Anne-Sophie Mutter, and Prof. R. Wallfisch.

Born into a family of musicians, Evgeniya began playing the piano at the age of four. She studied at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, the Franz Liszt University of Music in Weimar, and the Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media, where she was trained, among others, by Prof. G.

Her performances have been broadcast on NDR’s Podium der Jungen and live on BBC Radio 3’s In Tune.

Evgeniya is also deeply committed to projects at the intersection of art, education, and society. In 2019, she founded the tonali young academy; in 2024, she initiated the international project U-All-Together, which provides free art lessons for children from disadvantaged families; and in 2023, she launched the annual Kinder Kunst Campus Festival—an open festival for all children that connects people of different backgrounds through art and gives young talents a stage.
