About
Yulia Vershinina-Mukhopadhyay is an award-winning pianist, an avid ensemble player and a passionate music educator based in London. She was born in Russia, raised in Belgium and trained as a musician in the United Kingdom.
She started performing internationally after winning the 1st prize at the Steinway Piano Competition in Hamburg in 2003. At 16, Yulia had her debut performance at Carnegie Hall, New York. She has since played in ten European countries and the United States.
Yulia has been fortunate to collaborate with outstanding musicians. She has performed Brahms’ Horn Trio alongside Peter Cropper, participated in Britten Pears and Tunnell Trust residential courses with her former ensemble Trio Mise-en-Scène and her debut album with Duo Vershinina/Lee received glowing reviews in the BBC Music Magazine and on BBC Radio 3.
A believer in the transcendental power of music and its ability to help us feel more empathy and embrace our shared humanity, Yulia feels that in our increasingly polarised world, music is the key to a kinder and fairer society.
