Biography

Nino Kupreishvili discovered the piano at the age of three, guided by her mother, who is also a musician. Two years later, she began her formal piano studies with Professor Lali Sanikidze at the Paliashvili Central Music School for Gifted Children in Tbilisi. Her passion and dedication led her to the Vano Sarajishvili Tbilisi State Conservatoire, where she graduated with honors in 2015.

Eager to expand her musical horizons, Nino continued her training at the prestigious Imola International Piano Academy “Incontri Con Maestro” in Italy, studying with Professor Boris Petrushansky, and later at the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne in Switzerland. Under the guidance of Professor Christian Favre, she earned her Master’s degree in Concert Performance in 2019. Over the years, she has enriched her artistry through masterclasses with distinguished pianists such as Boris Berman, Siegfried Mauser, Elizabeth Sombart, Elisso Virsaladze, and Alexander Toradze.

Nino’s talent has been recognized with numerous prizes at international piano competitions. Among them are the Second Prize at the “Konzerteum-95” International Piano Competition in Greece (2004), the First Prize and Audience Award at the International Piano Competition for Young Musicians in Enschede, the Netherlands, and the Audience Sympathy Prize at the International Youth Music Competition in Oldenburg, Germany (2009). She has also been the recipient of several scholarships, including those from the Catholicos-Patriarch of Georgia Ilia II, the international “Vivace” Foundation, and the Fondation Résonance in Switzerland.

In 2023, Nino released her debut album — a heartfelt homage to the works of Franz Liszt — a recording that reveals both her dazzling virtuosity and deep artistic sensitivity.

As a performer, Nino has collaborated with major orchestras such as the Tbilisi Opera Orchestra, the Tbilisi Symphony Orchestra, the Lebanese National Symphonic Orchestra, the Budweis Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Poznań Philharmonic Orchestra. Her performances have taken her to many renowned venues, including Salle Cortot in Paris, Steinway Hall and Paderewski Hall in Lausanne, the Russian Conservatoire Serge Rachmaninoff in Paris, the Filharmonia Poznańska in Poznań, and the Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest.

Nino has also been invited to perform at numerous international festivals, such as the “Oldenburger-Promenade” Festival in Germany, the “Piano à Saint-Ursanne” Festival, “Les Musicales de Coppet,” and the “Gstaad New Year Music Festival” in Switzerland.
