Concerts at Fondation LV

At just 17 years of age, Alexandra Dovgan is the new sensation of the piano world!Having inherited the power of the prodigious Russian piano school, she began performing at age 11 in the greatest concert halls of Saint Petersburg, followed by Berlin and Amsterdam, before a lengthy ovation in 2019 at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris. The young prodigy, winner of five international competitions, has even drawn the admiration of the master Grigori Sokolov, who said, “Her exceptional playing exudes honesty and concentration.” Her supremely pure style drives the expressiveness of each sound to its quintessence. In addition to Beethoven and Chopin, which she wholly masters, her repertoire has naturally turned toward Russian music, revealing its freshness: the formidable Sonata No. 2 by the young Prokofiev is resplendent beneath her enchanted fingers.

Alexandra DovganAlexandra Dovgan was born in 2007 into a family of musicians and began her piano studies at the age of four and a half. At five, her talent emerged when she passed the highly competitive selection process to join the Academic Central Music School of the Moscow State Conservatory, where she studied under renowned teacher Mira Marchenko.
