Alexander and Ekaterina Kolodochka were born into a musical family in Moscow. At a very young age they began what would become a life of music with their education in the “State Chopin Music School.” Their schooling continued at the “State Gnessin College” in Moscow, where both received their degrees with honours. Ekaterina moved to Germany and Alexander followed her one year later, where brother and sister continued their musical education. Their list of master classes includes professors with such well known names as Gililov, Edelstein, Leuschner, Gottlieb, von Arnim, Pochekin, Valdma, Voskressensky and Kämmerling, as well as Stenzel & Stenzel and Genova & Dimitrov. They participated in and won various national and international competitions, which are part of their impressive curricula vitae. At the “University for Music and Dance” Cologne under Prof. Anthony Spiri they completed their studies and were awarded the “Master of Music” with the highest possible degree (1.0). In 2006 they had their debut at the Philharmonic in Essen, Germany, under their newly formed name “Piano Duo Kolodochka”. Since then they have concentrated on piano-duo concerts, playing four hands on one or two grand pianos. Winning the “Torneo Internazionale di Musica” in Verona in 2008 confirmed their role as an upcoming young piano-duo in this special class. Their evergrowing repertoire consists of a variety of compositions which are played together on one or two grand pianos. The duo has performed to rave reviews at national and international concerts, among them at the Philharmonic in Essen, The “Alte Oper” Frankfurt, Kurhaus Wiesbaden, Radio Station WDR, Cologne, Robert Schumann Concert Hall, Düsseldorf, Rudolfinum Prague, and in Luxembourg. It is fascinating to watch the charming and highly talented brother and sister Alexander & Ekaterina Kolodochka complimenting each other and at amazing speeds. Their symbiotic competence is absolutely convincing.
