Piano Recital: Anna Tsybuleva

Described by the Telegraph as a pianist with ‘a sensitive soul’, Russian pianist Anna Tsybuleva is the winner of the 2015 Leeds Piano Competition. This is Anna’s third appearance in a Pushkin House Music Salon. Her programme includes two major works from the German piano repertoire: Beethoven’s Tempest Sonata and Schubert’s ‘Wanderer’ Fantasy, based on the song with the same title.

Born in 1990, she was raised in Nizhny Arkhyz – a small village of approximately 500 inhabitants – in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic of Russia. She took her first piano lessons with her mother at the age of 6, before attending the Shostakovich Music School in Volgodonsk aged 9. From age 13, she continued her studies at the Moscow Central Music School and the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatoire, under internationally renowned pedagogue Professor Lyudmila Roschina.

After graduating from the Moscow Conservatoire in 2014 with the coveted award for ‘Best Student’, Tsybuleva furthered her studies with Claudio Martínez-Mehner at the Hochschule für Musik Basel. During these two years, she developed her growing passion for the Romantic repertoire of the German School.
