Katerina Yazhova & Anna Salnit

Katerina Yazhova was born in Belarus and makes her home in Düsseldorf. From her earliest studies in Minsk to her graduation with highest distinction from the Robert Schumann Music Academy, she has built a career that combines virtuosity with a deep sensitivity for musical dialogue. Her artistry has taken her to some of the world’s great stages — including Carnegie Hall in New York, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Gewandhaus Leipzig, and the Musikverein in Vienna. Alongside her solo career, she has been a devoted chamber musician for more than a decade with Ensemble Royal Düsseldorf, and her interpretations have been recognized with numerous international competition prizes.

Anna Salnit, born in Moscow, began her musical path at the Prokofiev College before continuing her studies in Riga and Tallinn. Grounded in the traditions of the Russian violin school, she brings both technical brilliance and lyrical warmth to her performances. She has appeared with the Estonian National Opera Orchestra and at concert halls across Europe, equally at home as a soloist, chamber partner, or orchestral musician. Today she performs with the piano trio Sempre Musica and leads the string quartet Alma, continuing to enrich the stage with a vibrant musical presence shaped by her international collaborations and artistic vision.
