Recognized for her ability to "capture hearts" by Musical America, Ana Glig (aka Gligvashvili) is an award-winning Georgian-American pianist. Glig has performed widely in the United States and Europe in solo and chamber settings. As an orchestra soloist, Glig performed with Evgeni Mikeladze and Rishon LeZion Symphonic Orchestras in Israel and Georgia.
Prize winner of the Tel-Hai International Piano Concerto Competition (Israel) and Georgian Musician-Performers Competition, Glig is a recipient of Alfred Cortot’s prize for the best interpretation of romantic music at the Tbilisi International Competition (Republic of Georgia).
In the review of her album ‘Reminiscences’ (by Fanfare Magazine) Glig’s playing was recognized for it’s “….sensitivity and ability to finely capture some of Georgia’s haunting and elusive film melodies, “as well as anyone on disc, whether in a post Debussian space or in of filmic wit.”
Born in Telavi, Republic of Georgia, Glig’s first musical impressions trace back to her family and her musician aunt, who exposed her to piano at the age of two. Since then she developed particular love for Georgian polyphonic singing and classical music. Glig, a passionate, self-taught visual artist is a founder and artistic director of ‘ MusArt Interconnections,’ multimedia concert projects combining classical music with visual art and imagery. First ‘MusArt Interconnections’ was officially held at Cape Cod Museum of Art, Massachusetts, (in early January of 2020), in collaboration with a local artist, who created an impromptu oil paintings inspired by Glig’s live performance of works by Bach, Beethoven,
Chopin, etc.
Glig holds Master’s degree in piano performance from Mannes School of Music, The New School and Bachelor’s degree from Tbilisi State Conservatory (Republic of Georgia). She studied with Victor Rosenbaum, Jerome Rose, Revaz Tavadze and Marine Gelashvili among others. Glig is a graduate of NYU Steinhardt (New York University), where she studied piano
performance and pedagogy with acclaimed pedagogue and pianist Eteri Andjaparidze. At NYU Glig also served as a member of the adjunct piano faculty. Currently, Ana Glig lives in Harwich, Massachusetts, where she continues to perform, record, and teach. Glig is a teaching artist at Cape Conservatory providing private piano lessons to students of all ages and levels. Among her many favorite hobbies include drawing, hiking and cycling.
