Pianist Tatiana Kachko grew up in the south of Russia (Rostov-on-Don region), where she started her musical path in her mother's piano class. At the age of ten she played her first big performance - the Piano Concerto by I.S.Bach in F minor with the chamber orchestra "Kamerata" (Rostov-am-Don).

During her studies at the prestigious N.A.Rimsky- Korsakov Conservatory (Saint-Petersburg) she discovered her passion for song and shortly after became a laureate of the International Song Competition "Three Hundred Years of Classical Romance". Tatiana Kachko received her master's degree here as a student in the class of Professor Nina Seregina. Since 2014, Tatiana has been living in Weimar (Germany) due to her advanced studies at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, where she successfully completed first concert exam solo piano (2019) with Professor Grigory Gruzman and then concert exam song interpretation (2021) with Professor Thomas Steinhöfel.

In April 2017 she started working as a répétiteur of the vocal institute of this university. During this time, she accompanied numerous master classes on the piano with highly renowned singing personalities such as Brigitte Fassbänder, Anne Sophie von Otter and Bo Skovus, for example. In addition, she often performed as a guest repetiteur at the German National Theater Weimar, Theater Nordhausen and Theater Erfurt, among others.

She received important impulses as a solo and lied pianist in master classes given by Dmitry Bashkirov, Michael Dussek, Richard Stockes, Willam Grant Nabore, Natalia Trull, Luis Fernando Perez and others. Tatiana Kachko is also in demand internationally as a concert pianist and song interpreter at concerts and festivals.
