Gina Kruger (Royal College of Music) has performed as solo pianist and chamber musician whilst pursuing a career as organist (St John the Divine, Richmond) and soprano. Concert venues have included the Holywell Rooms and Wigmore Hall; she has played with members of BBC Phil and LPO, and with French violinist Jean-Samuel Bez and Irish Mezzo-soprano Una Macmahon. Previously, she was a vocal accompanist at Juilliard School and the Manhattan School of Music and performed regularly in Croatia.
Her solo concerts specialise in works of Debussy, Fauré and Messiaen (including broadcasts in the USA); a concert of Spanish music in the National Concert Hall, Dublin, was deemed a ‘finely turned performance’ by the Irish Times in 2010.
