Masha Lakisova

Praised for her “sensitive musicianship and communication” (The Strad), Masha Lakisova is fast becoming one of the rising stars of her generation. As a soloist, Masha has taken top prizes at the Stulberg, Klein, and Tibor Junior Competitions, and most recently, the World’s Biggest Stage Competition. In addition to appearing as a soloist with orchestras worldwide, Lakisova is also an avid chamber musician, having won two consecutive Gold Medals at the Fischoff Chamber Music Competition in the Junior Division, and a Silver Medal in the Senior Division. She has performed in esteemed concert venues in the United States and all over the world including Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall, Ravinia’s Bennett Gordon Hall, and Alice Tully Hall. She has previously studied with Grigory Kalinovsky, Itzhak Perlman, and Li Lin, and is currently pursuing her bachelor’s at the New England Conservatory, where she is a student of Miriam Fried. Miss Lakisova is the proud recipient of a magnificent violin by Giovanni Francesco Pressenda, Turin, 1845 on loan from The Stradivari Society of Chicago thanks to the generosity of her patron, Edward Manzo.
