Natalia Kosov

Ms. Kossov's solo and teaching career spans three continents and over three decades.

After a wunderkind-like childhood Ms. Kossov was accepted to the Gnessin Academy in Moscow studying in the class of Prof. Guttman, heir of the celebrated Heinrich Neuhaus.

Soon upon graduation Ms. Kossov immigrated to Israel where her success and amiable reputation seamlessly continued, resulting in numerous teaching and playing opportunities. A successful cello duo with the first cellist of the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra propelled her performance and recording career thus playing with some of the most esteemed artists to visit Israel such as violinists Rivka Golani and Tabea Ziemmerman, cellists Bernard Greenhouse and Janos Starker, pianists Murray Perahia and Claude Frank culminating with a series of recitals with cellist Boris Pergamenchikov.

For the last thirty years Ms. Kossov has been teaching piano, piano duets and chamber music at the Jerusalem Conservatory and High School. Ms. Kossov's chamber groups and solo students are regular invitees and winners of the most regarded conferences and competitions in Israel, such as the America Israel Culture Foundation, Israel Young Artists Competitions and master classes in Israel and abroad.

Ms. Kossov enjoys reading fine and critical literature and keeping up with the latest methodic and artistic ideas to enrich and challenge hers and her students musical life.
