Described as an "amazing virtuoso" by the world-renowned Nikolai Petrov and having a "complex, vigorous and demanding energetic attitude at the piano" by Brazilian newspaper Correio Brasilense, Polina Bespalko is rapidly establishing herself as one of piano's brightest stars. Ms. Bespalko began her performance career at the age of 8 and appeared regularly in the most prestigious venues in Russia, including performances in Bolshoi Hall and for the Orthodox Patriarch Alexy II at the age of 13. Polina made her American debut in 1998 as an honored member of the Russian-US Cultural Music Exchange. This launched a period of intense U.S. concertizing, including two performances at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.
