Biography
“Madame Rizikov is an extraordinary virtuoso of abundant technical prowess. But she is more than the sum of ten fingers - she's an accomplished artist, born to play, love art and the act of making music...” – Beat Magazine
After arriving in France in 2017, Anastasia obtained her Artist Diploma from the Ecole Normale de Musique, then went on to perfect her skills at the Paris Conservatoire in Frank Braley's class. In June 2022, she became a laureate of the Fondation Banque Populaire and the Fondation Gautier Capuçon. With cellist Lisa Strauss, she founded the SHUM duo, whose artistic identity celebrates the repertoire of Eastern Europe and the Balkans.
