My name is Kira and i’m 14 years old. I was born in Russia and I began playing at the age of seven in Moscow. Currently, I’m studying at the Purcell School for Young Musicians under the guidance of Tatiana Sarkissova. I’ve participated in several competitions in Russia, where I took first and second places, for example, Chopin International Competition in Petrozavodsk in 2021. I’ve also attended masterclasses with such pianists as Natalia Trull and Enrique Bagaria in Spain. Additionally, I have performed with a distinguished cellist Pavel Gomzyakov in Moscow Conservatoire in 2021, and I’ve also performed in Moscow International House of Music in 2019. I’m looking forward to participating in your competition to enrich my pianistic experience.
