Acclaimed by Yehudi Menuhin at just 6 years old as ‘destined to become a great pianist’, Russian-born Veronika Shoot moved to England aged 5, and gave her debut piano recital aged 7.
Her rising solo career has already taken her for concert tours around the world. Countries she has toured in include UK, Russia, Belgium, Holland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Turkey, Germany, France, Israel and South America to name a few.
Veronika has performed on numerous occasions in the prestigious venues in UK such as the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Wigmore Hall, The Purcell Room, Steinway Hall, Jacques Samuels, and Dartington Hall. She has dazzled audiences worldwide, as “one of the most charismatic and versatile” performers of her time, playing a wide range of solo and chamber repertoire.
Since 1998 she studied with full scholarships at the Yehudi Menuhin and Purcell Schools of Music, with the renowned Russian pianists and professors Irina Zaritskaya, and later Prof. Tatiana Sarkissova.
Veronika has given many concerts for private events organised by recognised charities, such as a performance organised by the National Assosiation for Gifted Children in the presence of the Duchess of Gloucester who was the patron of the association, and a performance for Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street. She also performed at the Pushkin Prize for Lady Butter, Pushkin’s great great granddaughter.
