About

Violinist and co-founder of chamber ensemble Aetas, Masha strives to connect with diverse audiences by establishing community and outreach partnerships with several institutions. Having fallen in love with string quartet playing early on, she has recently become enamoured about sonata and piano trio work, performing in Carnegie Hall's Weil Recital shall as part of the Lumiere Trio.
​
Born in Moscow, Russia, Polishchuk immigrated to the US with her family at a young age and almost immediately began her musical studies with her parents. She studied violin primarily with Isaac Malkin, and was a winner of the prestigious Helen Airoff Dowling and Twiford Foundation Scholarship, as well as the Josephine C. Whitford Award at the Manhattan School of Music.
