Sabine Sergejeva recently graduated with an Artist Diploma from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, studying under Professor David Takeno. She began playing the violin at the age of seven and since then has performed extensively across the UK, Europe, Canada and Asia. As a member of the Accendo String Quartet, Sabine has performed at prestigious venues including Barbican Hall and Wigmore Hall, collaborating with the Takács Quartet and David Waterman.

Since 2020, she has been a member of Kremerata Baltica, performing across Europe and Southeast Asia with artists such as Martha Argerich, Janine Jansen, Mischa Maisky and Pinchas Zukerman. Sabine has also worked with the London Symphony Orchestra and the Australian Chamber Orchestra, and recently served as assistant concertmaster of the Aalborg Symphony Orchestra. In 2021, she received the Silver Medal from the Worshipful Company of Musicians. Sabine plays a violin by Pietro Pallotta (1814, Italy), generously loaned by the Harrison-Frank Foundation.

Anton Lyakhovsky is an accomplished pianist with a distinguished career, winning multiple international competitions, including the Emmanuel Durlet International Competition, the 4th International Prokofiev Competition, and the Jazeps Vitols International Piano Competition, where he also received a special prize from the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra. He has performed extensively across Europe and America with major orchestras, such as the Mariinsky Orchestra, Latvian National Opera Orchestra and Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra.

Beyond his performance career, Anton serves as a respected jury member for international competitions and regularly leads masterclasses and lectures for the European Piano Teachers Association. His repertoire includes major piano concertos by Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff. Anton has received prestigious scholarships, including the Tillet Trust and Leverhulme Trust, and his 2020 performance of Liszt’s Second Piano Concerto was broadcast on BBC Radio 3. He remains a sought-after artist in the classical music world.
