Early life and education


Pogostkina is the daughter of two professional violinists. She began playing the violin at the age of four and quickly showed herself to have exceptional talent. She gave her first concerts at the age of five.

In 1992 the family moved to Heidelberg, Germany, where the eight-year-old Alina and her parents initially had to make a living as street musicians.

She won the 1997 Louis Spohr Competition and in 2005 she won first prize at the Ninth International Jean Sibelius Violin Competition in Helsinki, as well as a special prize for the best interpretation of the Sibelius Violin Concerto.[1] At the time of her victory in the Sibelius competition, Pogostkina was studying at the Hochschule für Musik "Hanns Eisler" in Berlin, where she was a student of Antje Weithaas. She currently lives in Berlin.
