Our purpose
Katya Concerts for Kids was established in 2024 to bring hope, wonder, and inspiration to some of the nation's most deserving and underserved children — many of whom have never heard live classical music or imagined themselves inside a grand concert hall.
As the music fills the space — whether beneath the soaring ceilings of a magnificent concert hall or within the walls of a humble school gymnasium — they feel something powerful. They carry it with them.
“I got so calmed down from your wonderful music… I love going to your studio to hear you play… people will go crazy over your music… I love you Katya.”
Next on stage
Carnegie Hall · New York, NY
Katya Grineva's beloved annual holiday performance returns to Carnegie Hall — and this season, Katya Concerts for Kids is bringing 500 deserving children into the hall to experience live classical music.
The artist behind the mission
Born in poverty in a small Russian town, Katya discovered her purpose in the world's great concert halls. She has performed for U.S. presidents and international royalty, and has completed 23 seasons at Carnegie Hall. Since 2008 she has brought classical music to inner-city New York children — and in 2024, she founded Katya Concerts for Kids to carry that mission further.
