Natasha Korsakova, of Russian-Greek origin, was born in Moscow into a family of distinguished musicians. At the age of five she received her first violin lessons from her grandfather, who was the concertmaster of the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra. She continued her studies at the Central Music School of the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory with her father, the famous Russian violinist Andrei Korsakov, and later on studied in Germany with Saschko Gawriloff.
 

Making a name for her superb technique, tonal colorings and captivating interpre- tations, Natasha Korsakova is quickly establishing herself as an important international artist. She has performed the Beethoven Violin Concerto under Mstislav Rostropovich and appeared with renowned orchestras, such as the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra at the Concertgebouw, toured with the Russian State Symphony Orchestra, the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Russian State Chamber Orchestra, appearing in Europe, South America and Japan. Other orchestral appearances include the Klassische Philharmonie Bonn (with whom she collaborated again in 04 on a 12-concert tour to Germany's major concert stages), the European Community Chamber Orchestra, the Orquestra Sinfonica del Estad de Mexico and the Santiago de Chile Symphony. 
 

Natasha Korsakova has appeared in recital in some of Europe's most prestigious concert halls, (such as the Berlin Philharmonie and Konzerthaus, the Gewandhaus Leipzig, the Kölner Philharmonie, London's Wigmore Hall, and Rome's Accademia di Santa Cecilia) and at some of the leading festivals (Ludwigsburger Festspiele, Liechfield Festival and -at Gidon Kremer's invitation- the Lockenhaus Festival.) At the invitation of Mrs. Irina Shostakovich, she also performed on the occasion of the opening of the Dmitri Shostakovich Association at Paris' Opera Comique. She recently was invited by the Vienna Historische Kunstmuseum to play in a solo concert Yehudi Menuhin's famed Guarneri del Gesu that is in their National Instrument Collection.  She made her US debut in New York and Chicago in February of 05.
 

Starting at a young age, Natasha Korsakova won prizes at international competitions including the Grand Prix at the European Radio Recordings Competition (1995) and the silver medal at the Concours Henryk Szeryng in Mexico (1997). In 1998, she was artist-of-the-year in Chile, and in 2001 won third prize at the Antonio Stradivari Competition in Cremona, Italy.
