01About Me
I started my piano studies at the age of six with Erika Becht using a special re-composition method. At the age of 17, I won the Louis Braille piano competition in Moscow, and after spending two years at the Vienna Academy of Music, I obtained an artist diploma at the Royal Conservatory in Toronto as a student of Leon Fleisher. My mentors were Zoltán Kocsis and Tamás Vásáry.
