Christmas is a time for gatherings next to the chimneys and the glitter of the candles. Piano used to be at the heart of every English home, where the family gathered every evening to drink tea and enjoy music. We have created the same atmosphere for you, so you could enjoy Afternoon tea and pianist Kristiina Rokashevich would take you to the musical journey through several centuries.
Kristiina Rokashevich was born in 1990 in Tallinn, Estonia and began piano lessons in Tallinn Music High School. Later she continued her education at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre. In 2010 Kristiina moved to London to study at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where she is continuing as a postgraduate from September 2013. She has also worked with distinguished pianists and pedagogues such as Dmitri Bashkirov, Andrew Ball, Emanuel Krasovsky, Alon Goldstein and has been a recipient of a Diploma of Excellence at the Tel-Hai International Piano Masterclasses in Israel.
Kristiina has won several prizes, recent ones include: I Prize of the Croydon Music Festival Piano Concerto competition; Guildhall School of Music and Drama Beethoven and Romantic Prize and top prize of the Beethoven competition organised by Beethoven Piano Society of Europe. In July 2015 Kristiina won the 1st prize and the audience prize at the Amy Brant International Piano Competition.
