Born in 1998 in Mykolaiv, Ukraine, Vladyslav Kaznodii is a professional pianist, accompanist, and educator. He began piano at age six and continued his studies at the Kyiv State Lysenko Music Lyceum, later completing both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at the Tchaikovsky National Music Academy of Ukraine, with a focus on solo performance, chamber music, and accompaniment.

Kaznodii is a prizewinner of several international competitions, including First Prizes at the “Golden Keys” Competition in Frankfurt (2012) and the Chopin Competition in Dnipro (2020), and Third Prizes at the Glière International Competition and the Kyiv International Piano Competition. He also gained valuable experience teaching and working as a répétiteur at the children’s music studio “Svitanok” in Kyiv.

In 2022, he relocated to Vienna due to the war, where he continues his studies under Lilya Zilberstein at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (mdw). He has since performed in Austria, Switzerland, and China, and actively participates in benefit concerts for Ukraine. He is a recipient of grants from the BMKÖS and the European Artists Solidarity Program (ASoP).

Kaznodii currently works as a répétiteur at the Bach Music School and, since November 2024, at the Beethoven Conservatory in Vienna, while also teaching privately and performing regularly.
