About George Golka
Golka Piano Services, run by piano technician and restoration expert George Golka, has been delivering exceptional service to the greater Houston area since 1982. George Golka is a Registered Piano Technician and Piano Technicians Guild member. He is a Yamaha-trained Disklavier specialist with a MA in Piano Technology from Rice University.
A piano not only serves the art of music, it is a work of art itself.
In 1980, in search of a better life, he signed a contract to work in the Veracruz Symphony. So, leaving Poland, he took his family and moved to Mexico. In 1982, the economic collapse in Mexico and political turmoil in Poland directed him north, in search of a better life, to Houston, Texas. Since then, he gradually learned the delicate art of piano technology, improving the quality of more and more pianos and satisfying an ever-growing list of clients. In 2000, under the strenuous guidance of Dr. Dean Shank, George got his Master’s Degree in Piano Technology from the Shepherd School of Music at Rice University.
His wife, Anna Golka, an accomplished pianist and a devoted piano teacher, was recently awarded 2003 Piano Teacher of the Year by the Houston Piano Teacher’s Association. She taught all three of their sons to play the piano, although, only the youngest, 15 year old Adam Golka, stuck with the piano to go as far as being a professional classical pianist. The eldest son, Tomasz Golka, went on to become a conductor. Since winning 1st Prize at the Eduardo Mata International Conducting Competition in 2003, Tomasz Golka has dazzled audiences and critics alike, appearing with numerous orchestras throughout the Americas and Europe in performances of nearly 100 major works. Karol Golka, the middle son, started a small and effective Internet design consultancy in 2002, named Webstruments.
