Biography

Born in Cheboksary, ex-Soviet Union, Olga Kholodnaya started studying the violin with the age of five.

2000-2007 Olga Kholodnaya studied since the age of 12 classical music at the Richard- Strauss - Conservatorium in Munich with Prof. HD Marcus Wolf and Akad. Oberrat HDJakob Gilman. Olga Kholodnaya took part in various violin competitions, young talent festivals, Zakhar Bron masterclasses worldwide and played in youth orchestras like Bavarian Philharmonie, Junge Münchener Philharmoniker. She made Funk, Electro, House, Hiphop, Rock recordings since the age of 15. She started playing in the street with 14 and performed with a classical trio, quartet, solo and with Olga Show worldwide. In 2006 Olga Kholodnaya performed along with other strings for the World Cup Opening in Munich Allianz Arena with Toni Braxton and Il Divo.

2007 Olga Kholodnaya survived a heavy injury. After more than 12 surgical operations she had to learn to walk again. Since that she is disabled. She never gave up playing the violin despite the heavy health conditions. As soon as she could get up from the wheelchair she went to the pedestrian zone to play the violin for her listeners. Street music gave her the strength not to give up.

2010 Olga Kholodnaya has recovered enough from the injury consequences to continue where she was forced to stop. Today she is performing her show in high hills again.

Four days after the 13 November 2015 attacks in Paris Olga performed in front of the Bataclan as a call for world peace and a tribute for all the victims of war around the world.[1][2][3][4]
