Yulia Zakharkina

Experienced and dedicated pianist with extensive expertise in chamber music performance and collaboration with leading musicians. Since 2013, I have been actively engaged in concert chamber music, refining my skills through years of practice, performance, and close collaboration with instrumentalists across various disciplines. As a laureate of chamber music competitions with my trio, I have gained valuable artistic and ensemble experience on international stages. With a comprehensive understanding of ensemble dynamics, I am committed to contributing my knowledge and enthusiasm for chamber music in a teaching environment, where I can mentor and inspire future generations of musicians.
