Praised as “superbly subtle and virtuosic” and “an amazingly accomplished artist”, Ksenija Sidorova is the world’s leading ambassador of the accordion. She tarted playing the instrument at the age of eight in her hometown of Riga, Latvia, and as she grew older her quest for more exposure to both classical and contemporary repertoire led her to the Royal Academy of Music in London from which she received her Masters Degree with Distinction.
