Elena entered the Moscow State Conservatory in the studio of Eugene Mogilevsky, and then transferred to the studio of Professor Elena Richter - both great musicians who studied with the legendary Heinrich Neuhaus. Graduating the Groningen Academy in 1997, Elena Nesterenko received the Honorary Diploma with a stipend from the Andrea Elkebrandt Fund to study with Gerhard Oppitz. Elena is the founder and artistic director of the Kostroma Piano Festival with orchestra.
