About Anna 

"Anna's playing could be described as a huge, full-blown flower, opening up with every other note into its own depth, which the listener draws into action and takes off outside the concert hall."

 Anna Nagwanshi, a Russian-Czech pianist, was born in Moscow, Russian Federation. At the music school called "Gnesina", she began to attend at the age of fewer than six years, and a year later Anna was selected into the piano class with Mrs. Prof. Tatiana Sarkisanc. In 2006, the whole family moved to Bohemia, where Anna continued her studies at the closest music school nearby (Říčanská music school) under the supervision of Mrs. Prof. Michaela Prokopová-Šopíková. Under guidence of Mrs. Prokopová-Šopíková Anna at the age of 12 made her debute with orchetra. 

Just before the Conservatory, there was a change and the last two years of preparation for the entrance examination at the Prague Conservatoire were led by Mr. Prof. Viacheslav Grochovskij. After successfully entering this school, Anna continued her studies in the class of Mr. Prof. Michal Rezek. Two years later, there was another change when Anna moved to the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory for Mrs. Prof. Irina Parker. This period was the most active in the concert activity of the young pianist, which ended with the achievement of Graduation exams and attendance at Conservatori Liceu in the class of Mr. Prof. Stanislav Pochekin. 

After two years of studying with Mr. Pochekin, she went to her next studies at the prestigious Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel to the class of well known Mr. Prof. Daniel Blumenthal (a winner of Queen Elisabeth piano competition) where she obtained Bachelor's and Master's degree cum laude.
