Valentin Shterin started taking violin lessons at the age 8 and began considering dedicating himself to playing professionally around age 12–13, of about the time he started studying at the Musical Lyceum.

Valentin visited several European countries as a member of the “Vasiliev Ostrov” youth orchestra under Sergei Efaev. Deeply impressed by the experience, he decided to work extensively on their orchestral group-playing skills.

From 2016 to 2020, Valentin studied at the Mussorgsky Music College under Anna Dyadina and Ekaterina Baranova (Chamber Ensemble), developing further professionally and hardening himself both technically and emotionally to become a more competitive violinist. He also began participating in competitions relatively frequently. During his time at the college, Valentin played in the 1st violin section of the youth orchestra, first under Lev Dunaev and later under Yuri Serov. The experience gained from frequent concerts allowed him to significantly improve their group-playing skills.

Since September 2022, he enrolled at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel and is currently in his second Master year of studies under Valery Oistrakh. He also actively participates in orchestral projects (both conservatory-organized and external) and organizes multiple chamber music groups.

Anna Nagwanshi, a Russian-Czech pianist, was born in Moscow, Russian Federation. At the music school called "Gnesina", she began to attend at the age of fewer than six years, and a year later Anna was selected into the piano class with Mrs. Prof. Tatiana Sarkisanc. In 2006, the whole family moved to Bohemia, where Anna continued her studies at the closest music school nearby (Říčanská music school) under the supervision of Mrs. Prof. Michaela Prokopová-Šopíková. Under guidance of Mrs. Prokopová-Šopíková Anna at the age of 12 made her debut with the orchestra with a concerto C-dur of Georg Joseph Vogler.

Just before the Conservatory, there was a change and the last two years of preparation for the entrance examination at the Prague Conservatoire were led by Mr. Prof. Viacheslav Grochovskij. After successfully entering this school, Anna continued her studies in the class of Mr. Prof. Michal Rezek. Two years later, there was another change when Anna moved to the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory for Mrs. Prof. Irina Parker. This period was the most active in the concert activity of the young pianist, which ended with the achievement of Graduation exams and attendance at Conservatori Liceu in the class of Mr. Prof. Stanislav Pochekin.

After two years of studying with Mr. Pochekin, she went to her next studies at the prestigious Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel to the class of well known Mr. Prof. Daniel Blumenthal (a winner of Queen Elisabeth piano competition) where she obtained Bachelor's and Master's degree cum laude.

Anna is active in multiple fields - solo concerts, competitions, social media, chamber music, and education. From 2025 Anna is a member of the Opus70 music school. From the same year she started a collaboration with violinist Valentin Shterin. She gave various concerts in the Czech Republic, Spain, Belgium, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Slovenia, Hungary, India, and Russia.

Anna also participated in various masterclasses over Europe and was trained under renowned and very respected pedagogues such are Cristina Marton-Argerich, Alexey Sychev, Jean-Bernard Pommier, Maria Gambarian, Avedis Kouyoumdjian, Amy Lin, Miha Haas, Andre de Groot and many others.
