Polina Osetinskaya studied at the Moscow and St Petersburg conservatories. She has recently given a series of triumphant recitals around Europe, including playing three of Prokofiev’s piano concertos in a single concert, and is accompanist to the great Soviet-born Israeli violinist Maxim Vengerov, with whom she will be appearing at London’s Barbican Centre shortly after her recital in Shrewsbury.

Praised by fellow pianist Gabriela Montero as "A Queen, a grand and real artist … so true to herself and her convictions".
