Polina Osetinskaya, an outstanding child prodigy, gave her first recital performance in The Great Hall of Vilnius at the early age of six. At the age of only nine, Ms. Osetinskaya performed Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto and Schumann’s Piano Concerto within the same programme. For her young age, this was a unique accomplishment in the history of the world’s piano performances. Ms. Osetinskaya was born in 1975, started playing the piano at five, and entered the Central Music School of the Moscow State Conservatory at the age of seven. Later she continued her studies at the St. Petersburg State Conservatory and has just finished her post-graduate studies at the Moscow Conservatory. In 1986, at eleven years of age, Ms. Osetinskaya performed a recital in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory that was attended by a number of international television companies. As a result, several television programs were made about her and were later shown in Europe and the USA.
In 1991, Ms. Osetinskaya made her international debut in Sweden and Germany and was invited to participate in the “New Names” program by the Russian Cultural Federation and the Congress of the USA held in the Kennedy Centre in Washington, D.C.  In 1993, she opened “Festival du Wallonie” at the Fine Arts Palace in Brussels and was the first to receive a grant from “European Young Musicians Aid Association.” Ms. Osetinskaya continues to perform extensively around the world appearing with internationally renowned orchestras.  She has made numerous recordings for ARS Tokyo, for Bel Air Music and Sony Classics.
