c/o Wesleyan University Center for the Arts November 13, 2026 • By Katerina Vasyukevich Angelina Gadeliya is a Ukrainian-American pianist and teacher who has performed both solo recitals and chamber music across the United States and Europe. Born in Sukhumi, Georgia, she began playing piano at the age of five, later moving to Ukraine to continue her education. She immigrated to the United States in 1990 and now serves as Assistant Professor in Residence of Piano and Coordinator of Keyboard Studies at the University of Connecticut, as well as the President and Artistic Director of the Fryderyk Chopin Society of Connecticut. On Friday, Nov. 6, 2026, Gadeliya led an open master class with three Wesleyan students at Crowell Concert Hall. Each student performed a prepared piece, and afterward received 30–45 minutes of advice and instruction from Gadeliya, who suggested improvements in technique, tempo, and dynamics.
