Dorian Griner began studying with his Czech mother Bozena Griner, herself an accomplished pianist and professor, a graduate from Moscow Conservatoire, having studied piano with famous Heinrich Neuhaus (Richter and Gilels were among his pupils). From her Dorian inherited his passion for music, which later was developing into an individualistic, poetic approach, favouring a repertoire from Romantic periods. In 2001 he began attending the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where he obtained his Master's degree studying piano with the acclaimed pianist and professor Artur Pizarro.
“…The Wigmore Hall recital by the young pianist Dorian Griner on 6 April 2008 proved to be a very well-chosen and satisfying programme, well played throughout by this gifted artist… First-class Chopin playing… and Ravel's Pavane… most beautifully played throughout… These were quite magical and engrossing in their superb creation of atmosphere…”
