Naina Jinga - is a Canadian-Romanian award-winner composer and a classically trained pianist.
Naina was born in Cluj-Napoca, Romania and began playing the piano at the age of four, and writing her first compositions at twelve. She has appeared as a piano-soloist with Romanian orchestras, in solo and piano-duos piano recitals. She graduated from the "Gheorghe Dima" Academy of Music in 1991 (B.Mus), where she was later appointed as an Assistant Professor and, in 1998, as an University lecturer. She holds a M.Mus and a Ph.D. in Composition with a “Magna cum Laudae”.
In 2003, Naina moved to Canada, where she attended graduate studies in Composition at the University of Western Ontario. She has written extensively in instrumental, vocal, choral, chamber music and orchestral genres with performances in Canada, Europe, U.S. and Australia. She is also the recipient of many international awards and scholarships, among them, the Romanian Composers’ League Prize and the UNESCO award and scholarship.
In more recent years, embracing a new style - the light classical music - has won her a loyal fanbase and increased worldwide her popularity. Her music has many different expressions and has been described as sensitive, touching, deeply moving, lyrical in inspiration, subtle and thoughtful.
Her piano ballads won their well-deserved place in Top 10 on Radio stations, while platforms such as iTunes, Spotify, Deezer, Amazon or Women of Substance Podcast are featuring her music.
