Bergen Orgelsommer - Bergen International Organ Festival - Anastasiia Igoshina

St. Mary`s church is a beautiful church situated on Bryggen in Bergen. Welcom to a special experience in one of the citys oldest buildings!

Anastasiia Igoshina was born and raised in St. Petersburg. From the age of 15 she studied at the Tchaikovsky State Conservatory in Moscow under the supervision of Prof. A. A. Parshin and Prof. L. B. Shishkhanova. She completed her master's degree there in 2019. Further studies brought her to the University of the Arts in Graz, Austria, where she completed her Bachelor's and Master's degrees, both with distinction, under the supervision of Prof. Günther Rost. Currently, Anastasiia Igoshina is the principal organist at the St. Lawrence Church in Graz, Austria, a church belonging to an Elizabethan monastery.  She has been performing on the international concert scene since the age of 15. As one of the youngest organists, she made a name for herself at a number of national and international music competitions, and she has given concerts in several European countries. Her concert recordings have been broadcast on both radio and television in Russia, Austria, Germany, Hungary and Belgium. This is her third visit to Bergen. Previous concerts under the auspices of Bergen International Organ Festival have made it natural to invite her to this year's festival, as a representative of the younger generation of concert organists who continue to impress with their high artistic level.
