Biography:
Tatiana Stupak started learning the piano at age five, studying at the Special School of the Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory in St. Petersburg, and after that, for a further five years, continuing at the Conservatory itself. She qualified as a soloist, an accompanist and as a music teacher. She speaks Russian, Greek and English. In 2020 she began further studies at the Moscow Conservatory.
Tatiana has been based in Cyprus since 2007, where she is very well known, having played piano and organ at more than a hundred events in the last six years, both as a soloist, and accompanying other musicians. The majority of the events she has organized herself, and many of them have been for charitable causes.
She is the winner of international piano and organ competitions. In 2018, she won awards for being chosen in a competition, as Russian Cultural Woman of the Year in Cyprus. And in 2020, she won a diploma in music as one of the ’20 successful people of the Republic of Cyprus’. The Cyprus Russian Business Association presented her with an award as Best Business Inspirational Woman of the Year 2021. She has won many other awards for charitable work.
