About the Olga Stezhko
Acclaimed by Classical Source in a Wigmore Hall review as ‘a supremely delicate master of her instrument’ who possesses ‘an extraordinary presence’, award-winning pianist Olga Stezhko has performed worldwide from the Barbican Hall in London to Salle Cortot in Paris to the Carnegie Hall in New York City. Born in Minsk, she was educated in Belarus, Italy and the UK where she completed her Bachelor's and Master’s degrees with distinction at the Royal Academy of Music. Olga’s debut album ‘Eta Carinae’ combined her passion for astronomy with music by Scriabin and Busoni and was hailed by the Gramophone Magazine as ‘an outstanding debut’. Her second all-Debussy album ‘Et la lune descend’ received unanimous critical acclaim in the publications including International Piano Magazine and BBC Music Magazine. www.olgastezhko.com
