I come from a family with a long and distinguished tradition of violin teaching, rooted in one of the most influential violin schools of the twentieth century. Growing up in an environment where teaching and music-making were an integral part of daily life, I was immersed from an early age in a pedagogical tradition that has been passed down through several generations of renowned performers and educators.
My development as a teacher was shaped not only through formal studies but also through years of working alongside experienced pedagogues, observing and participating in the teaching process from a young age. This practical apprenticeship gave me a deep understanding of how to adapt methodology to the individual needs, goals, and learning styles of each student.
Over the years, my teaching experience has ranged from young beginners taking their first steps with the violin to advanced students at pre-professional and university level, as well as musicians preparing for auditions, competitions, and conservatory entrance examinations. I have also given masterclasses and chamber music coaching in various international settings.
Alongside my teaching, I maintain an active international performing career as both a soloist and chamber musician. I have appeared in leading concert halls across Europe and beyond, collaborating with distinguished artists and performing at major festivals and concert series. As a member of the Amsterdam Piano Trio, I am also deeply engaged in chamber music at the highest professional level. This ongoing artistic activity allows me to bring practical insights from the stage into the teaching studio, helping students develop not only technical proficiency but also musical confidence, stylistic awareness, and strong performance skills.
My teaching philosophy combines a solid technical foundation with an individual and thoughtful approach to artistic development. Whether working with a beginner, an amateur musician, or an aspiring professional, my goal is to help each student unlock their potential, develop a personal musical voice, and build a lifelong connection to music.

About Me
Following her recent debut at the Berlin Philharmonie,Netherlands/Spain-based violinist Anna Lipkind-Mazor was hailed as a modern-day priestess of sound—an artist who breathes music with body, soul, and silence, enchanting audiences from the very first note with her luminous presence and profound expressivity.Anna has performed at many of the world’s most prestigious concert venues, including the Berlin Philharmonie, Vienna Konzerthaus, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Philharmonie de Paris, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Musikverein Vienna, KKL Luzern, Flagey Brussels, Sakura Hall Tokyo, Frankfurt’s Sendesaal, the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, and the Charles Bronfman Auditorium in Tel Aviv, home of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.
Her expansive concerto repertoire reflects an unwavering commitment to artistic innovation, musical discovery, and the embrace of contemporary voices. She performs not only the great masterworks of Beethoven, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Dvořák, and Prokofiev, but also bold and compelling works by Noam Sheriff, Paul Ben-Haim, Sofia Gubaidulina, Philip Glass, Jörg Widmann, and Lera Auerbach. This same spirit animates her solo and recital work, where she brings fresh perspective to a wide-ranging repertoire—from the timeless mastery of Bach and Ysaÿe to the distinctive voices of Denisov, Weinberg, Szymanowski, and Penderecki. A passionate advocate for contemporary music, she collaborates closely with leading composers and has premiered several new works, reaffirming her role as a fearless and vital presence in today’s violin landscape. A passionate and sought-after chamber musician, Anna has collaborated with renowned artists such as Peter Donohoe, Pavel Gililov, Ivry Gitlis, Julian Rachlin, Natalia Gutman, Pinchas Zukerman, and Patricia Kopatchinskaja at leading festivals including the Oleg Kagan Festival, Miyazaki Festival, GAIA Festival, Portogruaro Festival, Brandenburgische Sommerkonzerte, and the Eilat Chamber Music Festival. She was a longtime member of the acclaimed Lipkind Quartet and co-produced the critically praised Lipkind Plays... series. In 2024, she co-founded the Amsterdam Piano Trio with pianist Andrey Gugnin and cellist Dmitry Prokofiev, quickly earning recognition for their performances across Europe.
Beyond the concert stage, Anna is a visionary curator and creative force. She is the founder of the Amsterdam Concert Series and serves as Head of Artistic Programming at ConcertLab B.V., an innovative platform founded by her Husband the internationally celebrated cellist Gavriel Lipkind.
Highlights of Anna’s latest seasons included the world premiere of Mikołaj Majkusiak’s Triple Concerto: Images from the Darkness at the Berlin Philharmonie, a chamber performance with the Amsterdam Trio at the Konzerthaus Berlin in April 2025, and her debut at the 75th edition of the Festival Pablo Casals de Prades. In May 2025, she recorded the Amsterdam Piano Trio’s debut album for Hyperion Records, featuring Tchaikovsky’s Piano Trio and a newly arranged version of Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht—milestones that mark the beginning of a bold and deeply resonant new chapter in her artistic journey. Later in the year, she will further enrich her recorded repertoire with an interpretation of Prokofiev’s two violin sonatas, deepening her exploration of 20th-century music.
Anna began her musical education in Tel Aviv under Prof. Irina Svetlova, and at age sixteen made her debut with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Zubin Mehta. She had previously appeared as soloist with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, the Symphony Orchestra of Chisinau, and Sinfonietta Baden. She later studied with Prof. Pavel Vernikov at the Vienna Conservatory and Prof. Josef Rissin at the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe, further honing her artistry through mentorships and masterclasses with legendary figures including Zakhar Bron, Boris Kuschnir, Salvatore Accardo, Victor Danchenko, Ida Haendel, Shlomo Mintz, Miriam Fried, Thomas Brandis, Petru Munteanu, Itzhak Perlman, Ivry Gitlis, Tsugio Tokunaga, and György Pauk. Anna performs on a 1781 Gagliano violin (“Martelenne”), generously supported by R & v.T.
