Chamber and Solo performance
Having a say in the process of creating a performance is one of the most important things for Anastasia. Hence why, next to her development as an individual violinist, her love for chamber music and working within small ensembles has always been a driving force in her choice of creative projects. Her current principal chamber ensemble is the Elvira Piano Trio. Anastasia (violin), Alexander Talaifar (cello), and Jad Granger (piano) work together to create music that captivates audiences, with intimate and innovative interpretations they make every performance a unique experience.

More About Elvira Trio
The Elvira Piano Trio was formed in September 2022 after an impromptu sight-reading session between friends. Since then, they have explored a range of Romantic composers, including Ravel, Smetana, Dvořák, and Mendelssohn, with plans to expand into contemporary repertoire. Recently, the trio has become a regular guest performer at galas for the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy Foundation, supporting its fundraising efforts.
Masterclasses and Competitions
The trio have had the pleasure of performing as finalists at the Ivan Sutton Award and the Tunnell Trust. They are currently working on further competitions.
Aside from this, the trio have received masterclasses from Lucy Gould, Ralph de Souza, and Sarah-Jane Bradley, and have had regular coaching with Ursula Smith and Caroline Palmer.
Strings Duet
As the trio developed, Anastasia and Alexander (cello) discovered a natural musical connection and a beautifully blended sound, leading them to form a violin and cello duo. Their debut performance featured the virtuosic ‘Passacaglia’ by Handel/Halvorsen—often called ‘the impossible duet’—at an evening salon. The duo is now preparing for a performance at the Steinway & Sons concert hall in Dubai.
