From 1994 to1999 she attended the Central Special School of Music in Charkov in the class of Prof. Garry Gelfgat and subsequently transferred to the Special School of Music in Moscow. Her concert début with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s piano concerto No. 21 in C major, K. 467, at the Charkov Philharmonic Hall was followed only a year later by a performance of Camille Saint-Saens’ highly virtuoso Piano concerto No. 2 in G minor, op. 22, together with the Charkov Philharmonic, the Odessa Philhamonic and the Charkov Opera Orchestra. From 2001 to 2003 Kateryna studied at the College of Music in Münster/Germany with Prof. Michael Keller., after which she moved to Dresden to pursue further studies at that city's Carl Maria von Weber College of Music in the class of Arcady Zenziper.. She also owes significant artistic inspiration to her collaboration with Igor Blagodatov, a pupil of Jacob Milstein, who ranks among today's leading pianists in the tradition of the Russian piano school. 2009-2010 Kateryna was a student atthe RoyalNorthern College of Music.
