"I was born into a family of musicians. I started studying piano at age 5 and made my debut with the symphony orchestra at age 8. I studied at Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory, UCLA, and the Manhattan School of Music, where I was granted a full scholarship and earned a Master of Music Degree in Piano Performance. My teachers included distinguished musicians as Vitaly Margulis and Solomon Mikowsky.

I have performed in solo recitals in the USA, Russia, Belgium, Spain, Germany, France, Luxembourg, Japan, and Turkey. I have also appeared as a soloist with Moscow Symphony, Tenerife Symphony, Southwest Symphony, Delaware Symphony, Carson City Symphony and other orchestras. My extensive repertoire includes Mozart (Concerto No 27), Beethoven (Concerto No 1), Rachmaninoff (Concerto No 2, Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini), Prokofiev (Concerto No 3), and much more. I am a winner of international competitions including California International Young Artists Competition and Houston Symphony Ima Hogg Competition.

In addition to my active performance schedule, I have extensive teaching experience at the K-12 and college level. I am passionate about teaching and shaping young minds and sharing my love for music with adult learners." less...
