On the age of 14, with strong passion and courage she left the country and came alone to Moscow for learning music. She was fortunate to study in classes of great professors who belong to the unsurpassed piano school in the world.
Visha Nguyen-Voskresensky successfully started her artistic career with international competitions (1st prize – Rubinstein’s piano competition in Paris, 1st prize – Piano international competition in Russian conservatory in Paris, 2nd prize – International Olympic of Music in Moscow, 3rd prize – Scriabin’s international piano competition in Moscow), and after she actively expanded her performance art in Europe and Asia as well.

Her passion to Bach’s music hadn’t been interrupting with performance of “All 6 Partitas for clavier” in one recital, which had been also considered a unique project in Russia.
Countinuing her own career in New York city, Ms. Nguyen-Voskresensky conquered the new audience with deep, originally passionate interpretation of “Goldberg-variations” – the longest piano work in music history.
