Musician, Composer, Pianist

Evgeny Shishenkov is a pianist, composer, and performer whose art blends jazz and

original music, filling each performance with sincerity and a genuine connection to the

audience.Born in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, Evgeny began his musical journey at Children’s Music

School No. 7, performing works by classical Russian composers such as Sergei

Rachmaninoff, Sergei Prokofiev, and Pyotr Tchaikovsky. At the age of 15, he started

composing his own music, exploring improvisation and original harmonic ideas. To further

develop his compositional and performance skills, he began private jazz studies and

gradually formed his unique style, combining academic traditions with the freedom of

improvisation. In 2025, Evgeny completed his Master’s degree in Pop & Jazz Piano at the New

Bulgarian University, where he deepened his understanding of contemporary musical

thinking and performance art.

Today, he performs actively as a soloist and as part of various ensembles—from jazz trios

to big bands. He is also a participant in international festivals and an organizer of concerts

that bring together musicians from different countries and cultures.

Evgeny Shishenkov’s music is a synthesis of classical heritage and modern sound, of

improvisation and thoughtful composition, of lyrical introspection and the vibrant energy of

live performance. Each of his concerts is a dialogue — a meeting space between sound and listeners.
