Anastasia Kobekina - BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists 2018 - 2020
Born into a family of musicians, Anastasia Kobekina received her first cello lessons at the age of four at her home in Yekaterinburg, the capital of the Ural part of Russia. Following the completion of her studies at the Central Music school in Moscow she was invited to study at the famous Kronberg Academy in Germany and continued her studies at the University of Arts in. She is currently a student at the Conservatoire of Paris and at the Frankfurter Hochschule for baroque violoncello. In 2015 Anastasia won the prestigious TONALi Competition in Hamburg.
One of the most promising talents of her generation, Anastasia Kobekina debuted with an orchestra at the age of six. Since that time she has had the opportunity to perform with many renowned orchestras, such as Moscow Virtuosi, Kremerata Baltica, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the Konzerthaus Orchestra Berlin, the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra, and many others - under guidance of Krzysztov Penderecki, Heinrich Schiff, Vladimir Spivakov and Valery Gergiev.
In 2018 she became a “BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist“and was also awarded the Prix Thierry Scherz and the Prix André Hoffmann at the Swiss Winter Music Festival “Sommets musicaux de Gstaad”, a reward that comprised a recording with orchestra for the Swiss recording label Claves (released in April 2019). In June 2019 Anastasia won the Bronze medal at the XVI International Tchaikovsky Competition in St. Petersburg.
One of young cellist’s main dedications and passions is chamber music - she has been participating in many festivals performing with artists, such as Gidon Kremer, Yuri Bashmet, Giovanni Sollima, Denis Matsuev, Fazil Say, Vladimir Spivakov, and Andras Schiff.
Anastasia will be partnered at Glynde Place by the pianist, Luka Okros.
