biografia

Polina Bogdanova

The central experience of Polina’s youth came in St.Petersburg. She was born in a ‘musical’ family, her father a theorist and her mother a school music teacher. She studied music at the Art School named after I.F. Stravinskiy, and that is where her real passion for classical music was born. Later on she visited Moscow and stayed there, performing in public and also giving piano lessons at colleges. She gave out private lessons too.

 

However, the capital couldn’t replace the beloved native St.Petersburg. She got back there in a year and a half. The city itself inspired her greatly as a pianist and she often mentions it in her articles. Some of them were published in St.Peterburg’s musical magazine, others can be found online.

 

Polina spent much of her career travelling around the world and getting to know composers’ approaches in different countries. She visited 15 countries already and is planning to extend that list. She keeps on self-educating.
