Biography
Classically trained pianist and composer with more than fifteen years on stage and in the classroom — as soloist, chamber musician and partner to instrumentalists and singers.
Aneliya Novikova trained first in Russia, at Voronezh State Music College and Voronezh State Academy of Arts, before continuing at Lynn University Conservatory of Music in Florida with Roberta Rust.
The work since has crossed two continents: celesta with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, live performance at Moscow’s Modern Theater, opera lectures with the Voronezh State Philharmonic, and concerts at the Boca Raton Museum of Art and the Wick Theater.
Today Aneliya accompanies the choir at Boca West Country Club and is producing a solo album of original compositions that blend classical roots with contemporary sound.
