Nailia Galiamova (born 26 March 1961 in Tashkent, Soviet Union)[1] is a composer, living and working in Vilnius, Lithuania.
Biography
[edit]Galiamova studied piano and composition at the Vladislav Uspensky Secondary Music School by the Tashkent State Conservatoire from 1968 until 1979. From 1979 to 1984 she studied composition under the tutelage of Prof. Albert Leman at the Piotr Tchaikovsky State Conservatoire in Moscow, which she graduated with distinction. She furthered composition studies in postgraduate program from 1984 until 1989.
In 1984 she married Lithuanian trumpeter Algirdas Januševičius and in 1985 gave birth to her son Gintaras. In 1987 the family moved to Klaipėda, Lithuania. There Galiamova was a faculty member of the choral conducting department of Klaipėda Branch of the Lithuanian State Conservatoire. In 1993 the family, already including their 1-year-old daughter Donata, moved to Vilnius. Since 1994 she has served as a supervisor of the record library at the Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis School of Arts, and has taught music analysis, orchestration, polyphony and composition.

In addition to large-scale instrumental compositions Nailia Galiamova has written pieces for piano and strings, songs and romances for soloists and choirs, and music for children.
