Building Musical Bridges Across Generations

Sharing my passion and knowledge, passed down from my mentors, is one of the most meaningful aspects of my work as a pianist. I think with deep gratitude of Tatiana Shebanova and Dmitri Bashkirov — two exceptional artists and teachers whose guidance continues to shape my musical path. Their legacy lives on in every phrase I teach, every interpretation I help shape, and every moment of exchange with young musicians.

Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of giving a masterclass dedicated to the music of Chopin at the Viarmes School of Music.

It was a true joy to witness the students’ curiosity, sensitivity, and commitment. Their enthusiasm reminded me why transmitting this heritage matters so deeply. I am grateful to the school for their warm welcome and to each student for their trust and artistic engagement.
