Anna Vinnitskaya's piano playing is characterized by unconditionality, "volcanic energy" and great joy in playing, full of richness of detail and interpretative refinement. Not only can she set off musical fireworks at the piano, she also knows how to paint large canvases. Her technical brilliance is never an end in itself, but always a means of expression. The breathtaking precision and finest tonal nuances of her piano playing lend her interpretations an extraordinary creative power. She won her first international competition at the age of 12 and her international breakthrough came in 2007 when she won the "Concours Reine Elisabeth" competition in Brussels. Since then, she has performed as a soloist with leading orchestras and stars such as Andris Nelsons, Kirill Petrenko, Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla and many more. Her CD recordings have received numerous awards, including the Diapason d'Or, the Gramophone Editor's Choice and the ECHO Klassik.

At Pro Arte, Anna Vinnitskaya performs together with the Scottish elite orchestra, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, under the direction of its Danish chief conductor Thomas Søndergård with a program full of romantic soundscapes and symphonic power. The traditional orchestra, which was founded in 1891 and has been under royal patronage since 1977, is one of the leading symphony orchestras in Europe. The conductor is Søndergård, who was awarded the prestigious Royal Order of the Dannebrog by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark in 2022.
