Parents noticed her daughter's singing abilities early, believed in her talent and did everything to ensure that she received the best musical education. Indeed, today she has a huge store of knowledge, because she spent a total of about 19 years on professional education. At first it was a school of choral art, later Ksenia mastered playing the piano at a children's art school. After that, there was training at the faculty choral conducting at the academy. Gnesins and for another six years the singer improved her solo singing at the Moscow Conservatory.
Creative achievements
Since 2004, she has been collaborating with the Opera and Ballet Theater (Tatarstan), where her first professional performance took place. For several years, Ksenia has been collaborating with musical group, touring with him in Russia and other countries of the world. Ksenia has a successful experience of duets with famous performers- Alessandro Safina, and others.
Another childhood dream came true - Ksenia not only performs, but also works as a vocal teacher, she teaches academic singing at the Gnesinsky School.
Ksenia Dezhneva has repeatedly participated in various vocal competitions, taking first place. In 2015, Ksenia came to the TV project "Main Stage". Unlike other participants in the show, she was not looking for her audience. Her goal with the project is to make the classics accessible. She wanted in all its beauty to convey to a wide range spectators of classical music and prove that opera singers have a place on the stage.
The soulful soprano of the singer, a rare combination of beauty and musicality smitten everyone on the project - the jury, producers, show participants and, of course, the audience. Dezhneva became the finalist of the "Main Stage" under the mentorship of Walter Afanasiev.
Nowadays
Ksenia performs not only in the opera and ballet theater, but also participates in concerts and holiday shows of the national stage. The singer's repertoire includes arias from famous operas, as well as famous foreign compositions. You can learn more about the singer on the official website of Ksenia Dezhneva.
Five years ago, the name of Ksenia Dezhneva was known only in narrow musicological circles. And even then among fans of classical opera music.
Today she is known from numerous television broadcasts with Valery Meladze and Nikolai Baskov. And solo, she has made significant progress in PR thanks to the Main Stage project on the Rossiya TV channel. A noticeable phenomenon of national music, as the composer and producer Konstantin Meladze said about it, was also appreciated by Ulyanovsk residents in September. Ulyanovsk Pravda also found out that Ksenia is a Volzhan by blood.
Over the years of television promotion, Dezhneva managed to become a professional opera singer, having received two higher education- at the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music and the Moscow Conservatory, sing on the best stages of the country and receive a number of prestigious awards at international competitions. And shortly before her visit to Ulyanovsk, Ksenia was appreciated abroad, giving her the unofficial title of a novice prima donna of Russian opera. The young (slightly over 30 - not the age in her genre) singer jokingly admits that she owes the lion's share of her success to the icon of St. Xenia, with whom she does not part. But seriously...
- It's immodest to talk about myself like that, but I'm probably stubborn. And responsible. Although she has been insecure since childhood. And I also have a Volga character.
- That is, you are practically our countrywoman?
- She could be. I myself was born in Moscow. I can consider Zhukovsky near Moscow as my homeland, where for a long time lived and met my parents. But they always assured me that I inherited my character from my grandmother, my father's mother. And here she is from Saratov. Therefore, I love all the Volga cities at the genetic level. I consider each of them family. After all, I could have been born here, after all. And I know firsthand how purposeful and strong-minded all Volga residents are.
- As far as we can judge from the few publications in the press about you so far, you are purposefully aimed precisely at the opera.
- Instead of an answer, here are two facts from my biography that have so far looped the past. I started with the role of Suzanne in Mozart's Marriage of Figaro at the Mussa Jalil Opera and Ballet Theatre. And in the summer of this year she made her debut as Barbarina in the same opera, but already in Bolshoi Theater. I can’t imagine that even for a moment I could change the art to which I went all my life. Opera is universal. And, if according to the Hamburg account, it has survived and will survive all one-day genres. Although I can guess what you're getting at. Do you want to ask in the light of the above about the show "Main Stage"?
- Less. Moreover, on the channel "Russia" you compare favorably with your voice palette, which is richer in you than in other participants. But cooperation with Meladze and Baskov somehow does not fit into the general paradigm ...
- It all started with the fact that in 2012, while still a student, I was invited to back vocals by Alexander Serov. It was new and I made up my mind. And acquaintance with the pop establishment began. Hat acquaintance, by the way. Although with Kolya Baskov, we found several common topics for conversation. He is also Opera singer of Education. I can only say that I sang a duet only with interesting men. Uninteresting ones don't interest me (smiles).
- Was there anything other than music that "plowed" you for life?
- good literature- and continues to "plow". Especially Hemingway. And especially For Whom the Bell Tolls.
- Cities in tours do not merge into one yet?
- In no case. I'm still a neophyte traveler. And I'm interested in knowing everything. And first of all, the Volga cities are of interest for obvious reasons. (smiles). Ulyanovsk is extraordinary. You have order, tranquility, cleanliness, beauty, it's worth a lot. And the real home of talent, judging by what I managed to see. Performed on the same stage with folk ensemble Volga. Honesty and loyalty to the profession of Ulyanovsk dancers bribed me ...

Sardor Milano (mentor - Konstantin Meladze)
He is 23 years old. Born in Tashkent, then moved to Alma-Ata with his parents, now lives in Moscow. He studies at the pop-jazz department at the Russian Academy of Music. Gnesins.
Milano is a pseudonym. Abridged version maiden name my mother Milovanova. In this pseudonym is also my love for high art, which, it seems to me, is personified by Italy, Milan and the famous La Scala. Unfortunately, I haven't been to Milan yet. Goal number one: after the end of the project, get a visa and fly to Italy.”
- I am sincere, open, but my best friends can be counted on the fingers.
Your main disadvantage
- Suspiciousness. Often I am not sure of myself, I am nervous. Before the performance, I can’t sit still, I wind circles. Maybe that will help you get back on track. But, as a rule, I worry in vain. It turns out well in the end.
The main principle in life
- I am guided by the rule: 99 percent of work and 1 percent of talent. If someone in life is accompanied by luck, then nothing was simply given to me. I had to work hard to improve. And not only in creativity.
I really didn't like myself growing up. From the age of 14 to 17 he considered himself ugly duckling. I had a pronounced, protruding jaw, like Freddie Mercury. I got it straightened, but I had to wear braces for two years. Suffered from being overweight. But he signed up for sports, began to swim. And he lost a lot of weight, stretched out. And two years later, even my relatives did not recognize me. Now my height is 191 cm, although my parents are quite short.
- This is my conscious choice since childhood. In my family, no one has a direct relationship with music, but we have always loved high-quality pop music, such as Queen, Michael Jackson. I was five or six years old when my parents bought music Center and microphone. Not for me, but for yourself. But since then I have not parted with the microphone. I grew up with the Backstreet Boys, George Michael, Sade.
Main song
- I have a lot of favorite songs in different genres. Crazy about Rachmaninoff's second concerto. For me, this is a work of art, a state in which I am immersed.
I write songs myself. Sometimes words, but more often music. True, while these compositions are in my personal hearing. I am too critical of myself, and especially of composer's work. I did not dare to present them on the project. Also because I perform here in the neoclassical style, and my songs are more like pop music.
- Konstantin Shataevich - well-mannered, modest, kindest person. It creates the most comfortable conditions for the performer. First, he listens to the opinion of the artist, and then speaks his own. It is very important. When it was not him who chose the song on the project, but I, I heard from him: “Sing it the way you want, the way you hear it.”
Poetry interests me the most. Recently discovered Arthur Rimbaud. His poems are inspiring. From contemporary writers I like Coelho. Often, reading a book is inspired by its film adaptation. After watching the films, I read “Eat, Pray, Love” and “Love Lives for Three Years”. Maybe these are not such deep books, but realistic, modern. And romantic.
- Yulia's mother. She is not just a mother, but a friend. She raised me on trust, never scolded me, never punished me. Although often parents build upbringing on fear. And the kids don't tell them much. And I still have no secrets from my mother. We just have a cosmic connection with her. We treat each other with great respect.
The main thing about parents
“We have a lot of cultures in our family. Mom is Russian. Dad is Armenian. There are also Persian roots. My real name Ishmukhamedov. I don't introduce myself as her because she's hard to remember. It is also the name of my grandfather, film director Elyer Ishmukhamedov. I wouldn't want to take advantage of his fame. I want to achieve everything on my own.
Main talisman
- always with me holy book Koran. It is small and hangs on a chain around my neck. And also my mother is like a talisman. Always worries more than me. I used to go to projects without her so that my mother's excitement would not be transmitted to me. But somehow it went wrong. This time, for the first time, my mother supports me at all stages, and somehow everything went right away.
- French and Spanish cinema. My favorite directors are François Ozon and Pedro Almodovar. All of their paintings are masterpieces.
Home dream
- To be held as an artist. And when I have the opportunities and funds earned in this field, I want to open international organization helping people who are difficult to adapt in life. I know many children who are psychologically closed, afraid of society, their classmates peck at them, and their parents do not pay due attention. Over the years, the problem deepens and develops into isolation from society. I will be happy if this dream can come true.
But I don't have a girlfriend yet. Over the past two years, I've been all about creativity. I decided that I would start a relationship, start a family after thirty, when I myself get on my feet.

The main person in your life
- Brother Vladimir, who is eight years older than me. He is a sound engineer, musician, guitarist. And also a great authority for me, a person who will always support. We never clashed. When I was little, we didn't talk much. Interests were too different. I played toys at home, and he disappeared on the street with friends and a guitar. We became close later, when Volodya went to Minsk to study at the Academy of Arts as a sound engineer. Then I realized how terribly I miss him. I went to Minsk for a couple of weeks, we had a great time, and since then my brother has become the most important person in life. Now we play in the same group called IVANOV.
“It is important to be honest and kind. This counterpoint sits in my head. And my grandmother says that you need to be washed, shaved and cultured.

So, for example, my grandmother, who was born under the tsar in 1913, sang to me recruit lamentations. I, despite the fact that I was 4 years old, understood everything and cried. All these beautiful actresses on TV with flowing hair, I wanted to be like them. Even when I was little, I liked Paul McCartney, Vladimir Vysotsky and Michael Jackson. I fell in love with the last one. It's not just about the music, it's about the power that I felt but couldn't identify what it was that was so mesmerizing.
your main song
- It seems to me that they took me into the first group because I was in a short skirt. And our then guitarist said: “That's it, Tanya, let's write songs!” At first I thought that he was joking... I was then 18 years old, and we can say that I had to write the first songs, it seemed painfully exciting - the group. And about the main songs - there are none. There are Radiohead and Nirvana songs that never get boring, but in general my tastes are constantly changing. As for their own, the new one is always the most beloved.

Of the films, perhaps, the series "Twin Peaks", well, and all sorts of cult such as "Fight Club", "Forrest Gump", "American Beauty".
Main hobby besides music
I love books and I love animals too.
The main person in your life
- There were several of them, people who turned the world upside down, all the best in me comes from my mother. She is generally a saint, even the children in her arms stop crying. After? Perhaps my brother Anton, who is not quite a brother, but a nephew a year older than me, he was my idol in childhood and all sorts of Nirvana, torn jeans and protest are his merit.
Then our first guitarist Sasha Leonov. He showed me a lot of good music and with his criticism brought me to terrible tantrums, but it was necessary, apparently. Now I am grateful to him that he did not let me down and that I have a well-developed self-criticism. When everyone pours rainbows into their ears from childhood, there will be no development, mistakes and disappointments are also needed.
Then there was great love, which brought everything new about books and music, about the principle of unscrupulousness and about self-confidence, and about how beautiful I am both externally and internally. I didn’t think that a mature person at the age of 25 could take it like that and send the entire past structure of the world to hell.
The main lesson taught by parents
– An example of their fate, their strength, their love and respect.
The main talisman that helps you before going on stage
“Before I go on stage, I need to be alone. We all have different methods: Dima listens to some song, Renat smokes. I have a talisman, but it's too personal to tell.
Home dream
- The concept is vague and vague :) I always wanted to be a singer, but there is no limit to perfection, so the goal is to grow above myself both as an author and as a performer. In general, young ladies' dreams are oh so changeable... :)
