Nikita Borisevich, Violin and Margarita Loukachkina, Piano

Award-winning Russian violinist Nikita Borisevich is known for the precocious depth and sensitivity in his playing and utterly finessed technique. In the 2017-2018 season, at the invitation of Grammy Award winner, cellist Zuill Bailey, Nikita made his debut as a guest artist for the Sitka Summer Music Festival, the Northwest Bach Festival in Spokane, Washington, and the Alaska Airlines Concert Series in Anchorage. He has served on the chamber music faculty at the Baltimore International Piano Festival, and will perform recitals across the east coast along with his pianist wife, Margarita Loukachkina.

Margarita Loukachkina’s concert style represents the very best traditions of the Russian Piano School—flawless technique, impeccable sense of style and a beautiful tone. She began her studies of piano at age five, and shortly afterwards was accepted at the prestigious Gnessin School of Music in Moscow.

At sixteen, Margarita began studies at the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore, where she received her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees and is currently pursuing a Doctorate.
