Katya Concerts for Kids will extend a heartfelt invitation to more than 300 children from Harlem and the Bronx to attend the concert as her special guests.

Acclaimed pianist Katya Grineva will return to Carnegie Hall for her “A Classical Holiday” concert for one night only, Friday, December 26, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. Celebrating her 23rd Stern Auditorium appearance, Katya has performed at the venue more than any other female artist. In what has become a seasonal tradition for local New York City families and tourists alike, Katya’s festive concert is a highlight of the holiday season.

As part of her unwavering commitment to sharing the beauty of classical music with underserved youth, Katya’s non-profit organization, Katya Concerts for Kids, will extend a heartfelt invitation to more than 300 children from Harlem and the Bronx to attend the concert as her special guests. This inspiring initiative offers these young audiences not only the gift of world-class music but also the opportunity to dream bigger, experience the arts firsthand, and feel seen and valued within one of the most prestigious concert halls in the world.

Performing works from her holiday album A Classical Holiday, Katya showcases new arrangements of Christmas classics including The Nutcracker, My Favorite Things, and more. Drawn to spirituality and mysticism, Katya’s poetic style brings a different ethereal dimension to this holiday concert. This year’s program includes the mystical O choruscans lux stellarum by Von Bingen, Gershwin’s Embraceable You, the rarely played Liszt Legendes, and more.

About Katya Grineva

Born in Moscow, Katya began studying piano at the age of six, attending the Moscow Music School. She went on to the Moscow High School of Music under the aegis of the prestigious Moscow Conservatory, where she studied with Professor Pavel Messner. In New York, she was awarded a scholarship to immediately enter the Mannes School of Music graduate program, studying with Nina Svetlanova, followed by private coaching with Vladja Mashke, who played a key role in the young pianist’s development. Katya made her American debut in 1993 with the Baltimore Symphony. In 1998, she made her Carnegie Hall debut. In 2006, Katya was chosen to exclusively perform and record the world premieres of piano sonatas by romantic Viennese composer Marcel Tyberg. In 2023, she had the distinct honor of opening the new Field Arts & Events Hall in Port Angeles, Washington.

VH1 voted Bob Anderson the number one celebrity impersonator in the world––an honor that was also given to him by People Magazine. In addition to his exacting impressions, he is a highly acclaimed singer in his own right. Anderson’s story reads like a classic novel. In 1973, he snuck into the Sahara’s Congo Room to watch a Nancy Sinatra rehearsal. During that rehearsal, the Everly Brothers (Nancy’s opening act) got into an argument and walked out. Enter 23-year-old Anderson, who told the musical conductor that he was a singer; with only a few hours until the start of the show and no opening act, Nancy Sinatra’s producer handed Anderson a mic and let him prove himself. He did: Anderson went on in place of the Everly Brothers and played the entire two-week engagement at the Sahara.
Shortly after that engagement, Anderson accompanied Nancy Sinatra to “The Merv Griffin Show,” his first appearance on national television, for which he received a standing ovation. Merv Griffin was impressed, and months later, after seeing him perform at the Ye Little Club in Beverly Hills, Griffin invited Anderson to his 50th birthday celebration. It was at Merv Griffin’s party where Anderson started singing and imitating the voices of well-known vocalists. The crowd loved it. Cary Grant was sitting on the floor by the piano, saying, “This is really amazing; I have never seen anything like this!”
Anderson soon became a regular on talk and variety shows, with more than 200 appearances on television networks and shows including “The Mike Douglas Show,” “The Merv Griffin Show,” “Late Night With David Letterman,” “The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson” and on Showtime and HBO. He has performed in more Las Vegas showrooms than just about anyone. When Las Vegas celebrated 50 years of entertainment, Bob Anderson was voted number 12, between Barbra Streisand and Ray Charles, on a list of Vegas’ all-time-favorite acts.
Anderson wrote and starred in the award-winning show, FRANK The Man The Music at The Palazzo Theater in Las Vegas. Within weeks of opening, FRANK became the talk of the town and the must-see show. The running theme and spirit of every review was, “I saw Frank Sinatra the other night. I don’t care if it was Bob Anderson–I saw Frank Sinatra the other night.”

Our annual fashion show is set for June 3rd, right here in Sunnyside Gardens!
In our ninth year, our show celebrates the music of Broadway. Each Broadway shows tell a unique story about humanity, in the form of relationships, social and political issues, our young designers are each telling a unique story or their own through the clothing they choose to create and wear.
This year we encouraged our students to embrace their story along with the design process, from beginning to end. What most sewing do not get to do is make their own fabric. The fabric is the first decision in the design process. By making your own fabric or by altering the surface in some way, you have the opportunity to take total control of your ideas.
The students approached this project from a different points of view. Color blocking, layering textures and appliqué are a few of the surface design projects you will see on the runway. What you will notice most is hand printed fabric. More than half of our students chose to hand carve a print block and use that block to custom print their own fabric. One of our students took the plunge and sent her fabric to a professional printer to get her fabric made-to-order. Whatever process each young designer chose, the results are both very personal and amazing!
These creative young professionals are the future of fashion! You don’t want to miss this show!
The lights go on at 2:00 on June 3rd at Queen of Angels Auditorium.
