Marianna Shirinyan

Marianna Shirinyan is an Armenian-Danish pianist celebrated for her expressive touch and dynamic collaborations in classical and chamber music. Born in Yerevan, Armenia, she honed her craft at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen, where she later settled, blending her rich cultural heritage with a flair for European Romantic and 20th-century repertoire. Known for her versatility, Shirinyan frequently partners with cellists, violinists, and vocalists—like her recurring work with cellist Andreas Brantelid—breathing fresh life into transcriptions and chamber adaptations, such as her reimagined takes on Schubert’s *An die Musik* and the *F-A-E Sonata* with cellist Svante Henryson.

Her discography reveals a passion for intimate storytelling, from the haunting depths of Shostakovich’s *Viola Sonata* to the poetic urgency of Chopin’s *Ballades & Scherzi*. Albums like *Alma - Meine Seele* showcase her sensitivity as an accompanist, while projects like *Hypnosis* and *La Nuit* highlight her knack for curating evocative, genre-blurring programs. Whether navigating Rachmaninoff’s lush two-piano suites or illuminating lesser-known gems, Shirinyan’s playing radiates warmth and intellectual curiosity, making her a standout voice in today’s classical scene.
