Victoria Chikalkina

Biography

Victoria Chikalkina performs as a soloist and chamber musician on modern piano, fortepiano, and harpsichord.

Her artistic journey combines a rich pianistic tradition with a deep exploration of historical keyboard performance. She graduated with honors in 2023 from the Tchaikovsky State Conservatory in Moscow, in the class of Professor Maxim Philippov.

That same year she received the Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship (ESKAS) for advanced piano studies at the Geneva University of Music (Haute École de Musique de Genève) with Paul Coker and Fabrizio Chiovetta, and with Pierre Goy for clavichord and historical keyboards.

She has also taken masterclasses with Rena Shereshevskaya, Alexander Kobrin, Laurent Cabasso, Ricardo Castro, Jean-Claude Vanden-Eynden, Elena Kuznetsova, Vera Nosina, Eduardo Delgado, and François Dumont.
