Misha Maisky has the distinction of being the only cellist in the world to have studied with both Mstislav Rostropovich and Gregor Piatigorsky. Rostropovich has lauded Mischa Maisky as " ... one of the most outstanding talents of the younger generation of cellists. His playing combines poetry and exquisite delicacy with great temperament and brilliant technique." Lily Maisky was born in Paris, moving to Brussels soon after. She began playing the piano at the age of four, with Lyl Tiempo, also studying with Hagit Kerbel, Ilana Davids and Alan Weiss. Lily was a pupil at the "Purcell School of Music" from 2001 till 2005 where she also studied jazz piano. Sascha Maisky was born in Brussels on the 11th of May 1989 and began his violin studies at the age of three. His early professors included Leonid Kerbel, Leon Souroujon and Igor Oistrakh. At the age of 12, the course of his musical education led him to the Purcell School in London where his professors were Macej Rakowski and Evgueny Grach.
