Background

18 February 1992

I try to play competitions with the same approach as concerts. To play music for people without trying to be perfect, but rather to stay sincere and true to myself.

Anfisa Bobylova received her first piano lesson aged six, making her concert debut at ten. In 2007 she went on to study in Lviv with Tetiana Aleksandrova and composer Myroslav Volynskyi. She continued at the National Music Academy of Ukraine with Professor Yuriy Kot, completing her Master’s degree with honours. Since 2016 she has been studying at the Kunstuniversität Graz, currently with Professor Dr Milana Chernyavska.

She has performed at international music festivals such as the Sommerfestival Orpheus, Austria, Lato z Chopinem, Poland, Piano Extravaganza, Bulgaria. Anfisa enjoys performing in a duo with violinist Tetiana Lutsyk and in chamber music as a member of the Lemberg Piano Trio. She has collaborated with conductors including Andrea Barizza, Mariusz Smolij and Taras Martynyk and has attended masterclasses with prominent musicians such as Aquiles Delle Vigne, Antonio di Cristofano, Robert Levin and Oleg Stepanov.

Anfisa composes and performs her own music. With a strong interest in historically informed performances, she has made fortepiano recordings Mozart am Hammerklavier and Chopin und zurück.
