Nina McIntire

Chapter One

From St. Petersburg
to the world's stages.

Born and raised in St. Petersburg, Russia, Nina was playing her first songs on the piano almost before she could walk. At four she took up the violin — the instrument that would carry her through the conservatories of St. Petersburg and Moscow.

By twenty‑four she had earned her Master of Fine Arts at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow. Solo violin recitals followed across Japan, Mexico, and Europe, alongside chamber recordings with Germany's revered Villa Musica. As first violinist of the German State Philharmonic Orchestra Rhineland‑Palatinate, she performed from Tokyo and Beijing through Europe, North America, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires.

But the piano never let her go. Today, as composer and pianist, she presents Ivory Fantasy — a fearless fusion of classical, jazz, rock, and pop, accompanied by her own vivid video art and percussion.
