First time performing in Berlin

Sometimes music serendipitously travels to different corners of the world without warning. So has it been for Evgeny Grinko, a former noise rock musician whose first foray into the new classical sphere, “Valse,” produced a phenomenon that began organically in Turkey and has since spread throughout the world.

Humor, sadness and longing figure equally in Evgeny’s compositions, which take on cinematic elements that belie their sparse instrumentation. Colors float in and out of the music, from time to time combining to reveal a spontaneous rainbow of sound. Says Grinko, “Each new composition feels to me like a small miracle. Naturally, when you create a miracle, you are eager to share it with the rest of the world!”

With over 350 million streams on Spotify alone, 168 million YouTube views and over 2.1 million monthly listeners, Evgeny’s music has only grown in global popularity as new listeners become aware of his music. In 2023 alone, almost 7 million people listened to Evgeny’s music for the first time.
