Born in San Diego, California, Rossina Grieco began studying piano at the age of four, trained in the Russian pedagogical tradition of the Ugorski lineage. At eight, she made her soloist debut with the San Diego Symphony, becoming the youngest pianist ever to appear with the orchestra. Early competition successes led to her acceptance into The Juilliard School in her early teens, where she performed at major venues including Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. She has since toured internationally throughout Europe and Asia, appearing before sold-out audiences.

 

At sixteen, Rossina was admitted to the Shanghai Theatre Academy, ranking among the top one percent of candidates at one of China’s leading institutions for film and theatre. Her training in dramatic arts has had a lasting influence on her musicianship, shaping an interpretive approach noted for its depth, refinement, and command of the stage. Of Italian and Shanghainese descent, she draws on a diverse cultural background that informs the individuality of her artistic voice.

​

Her performances have been praised by distinguished figures in the classical music world, including Gary Graffman, Dmitri Bashkirov, Dame Fanny Waterman DBE, Gábor Takács-Nagy, James Anagnoson, Yu Long, and Xu Zhong. She has studied with and received mentorship from renowned pedagogues such as John Perry, Fu Ts’ong, Richard Goode, Eleanor Sokolov, and Menahem Pressler.

​​

By unanimous decision, Rossina was selected to attend the Glenn Gould School, where she became the longest-standing recipient, the first biracial American, and the only female laureate of the Ihnatowycz Prize in Piano—one of North America’s most prestigious piano awards, previously held by Jan Lisiecki and chaired by Leon Fleisher and Jeremy Denk. During her studies, she performed complete cycles of Chopin’s Twenty-Four Études, Four Scherzi, and Twenty-Four Préludes. Her repertoire now encompasses more than sixty hours of solo, chamber, and concerto works. She has released ten live, unedited recordings, which have collectively surpassed 1 million streams worldwide.

 

Alongside her concert career, Rossina maintains a strong presence in the fashion and design worlds, with a  following exceeding 1.5 million. Her collaborations include Steinway & Sons, Jenny Packham, Moda Operandi, and Net-a-Porter. Most recently, she partnered with luxury audio house P&L on a bespoke objet d’art integrating visual design with acoustic precision.

 

Rossina is currently pursuing new artistic projects, stepping back from social presence and press. Outside of music, she enjoys English literature, regional Italian cuisine, classic French cinema, and time spent with her husband and their Bernedoodle, Aria.​
