Asya Gulua
Asya Gulua began studying the piano at age six in her native Moscow,
Russia. After only one year of training, the precocious talent was
admitted into the prestigious Gnessin School of Music, where intense
studies commenced with Anna Arzamanova and Sergei Lebedev. Asya
credits these two mentors as the main influences during her early
training, as both played vital roles in her growth and development as
a young pianist, artist, and individual.
Upon emigration from Russia to the United States in 1996, Asya
continued her studies with Marjorie Janove and Mikhail Boguslavsky.
Her acceptance to the well-known Interlochen Arts Academy placed Asya
under the tutelage of Dr. Stephen Perry, with whom she finished out
her high school degree. She completed her undergraduate studies in
2005 at the renowned Juilliard School in New York, where she was a
pupil in the studio of Professor Jerome Lowenthal. That is also where
she met her husband Arsen Gulua and after receiving her BM degree,
Asya took two years off from school to be at home with their newborn
son Pyotr. In 2009, she graduated from the Jacobs School of Music at
Indiana University with a MM degree, where she was a student of Edward
Auer.
Asya was recently accepted into the DMA program at the University of
Oregon, but is once again taking time off from school as she is
awaiting the birth of a second child. She plans to resume her studies
in fall 2010 in the studio of Alexandre Dossin.
