Olga Paliy

A spark ignited. Competition successes followed, including audience-vote prizes, en route to Olga’s Europe-wide career of public concerto, chamber and solo performance, and international lecturing.

Originally from Ukraine, Olga is a London-based pianist, teacher and an established researcher of polyphonic music.

In 2004 Olga was awarded a Presidential Scholarship for the Tchaikovsky National Academy of Music in Kyiv, Ukraine, graduating in 2006 under the expert tutelage of Valery Kozlov. From there she went on to the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester to study with the inspirational Norma Fisher.

In 2017, she became the RNCM’s first student to receive a PhD in Performance, working under David Horne.
