I have been learning harp since age of 7 and inherited the richest European tradition of the instrumental performing. In the childhood I took the profound courses of harp playing, harmony, piano, solfeggio, chorus, ensemble, orchestra, music analysis, music theory and literature in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. In future studies I participated in various international competitions, festivals and master-classes led by the world top harpists such as Carrol McLaughlin, Milda Agazarian, Catherine Michele. As for the academic studies I am blessed to name as teachers such brilliant harpists as Irina Donskaya (Principal Harp in Kapella Symphony, St-Petersburg), Enna Borvenko (Ex-Principal Harp in Mariinskt theater, St-Petersburg), Ann Hobson Pilot (Principal Harp in Boston Symphony Orchestra).
After receiving my Masters with honors I continued my career as a solo and orchestra performer and as a teacher in all parts of the world.
