Anna Lipkind-Mazor was born in Moscow into a musical surrounding that is deeply rooted in the string playing traditions passed by David Oistrakh (Viktor Pikaizin & Semyon Snitkovsky), Mikhail Garlicky, Zinaida Gilels and the original Borodin Quartet members.

She began her violin studies at an extremely young age in Tel-Aviv. At this early stage Anna was privileged to enjoy the direct influence of some of the greatest violinists of the last century: Zakhar Bron, Boris Kuschnir, Salvatore Accardo, Victor Danchenko, Ida Haendel, Shlomo Mintz, Miriam Fried, Thomas Brandis, Petru Monteanu, Itzhak Perlman, Ivry Gitlis, Tsugio Tokunaga, Georgy Pauk, to mention just a few.

Anna’s first performance with the orchestra was at the age of six. Besides her frequent performances in Israel, she often traveled to international festivals such as Vladimir Spivakov’s Moscow Meets Friends, Oleg Kagan Festival in Kreuth in Germany, Portogruaro Festival and Lucca Festival in Italy, Miyazaki festival in Japan, Brandenburgische Sommerkonzerte in Germany, Gaia Festival in Switzerland, Viana Festival in Portugal and Eilat Festival in Israel collaborating with musician such as Peter Donohoe, Pavel Gililov, Julian Rachlin, Maxim Vengerov, Natalia Gutman,Stacey Watton, Pinchas Zukerman and many more.

Radio performances with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, National Chamber Orchestra of Moldova, Symphony Orchestra of Chisinau as well as Sinfonietta Baden and other smaller groups followed. At the age of 16, a debut performance with the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Zubin Mehta led to Anna’s moving to Europe to study with Pavel Vernikov at the Vienna Conservatory where she became a prize winner of four International Competitions. 

Her latest seasons included performances in halls such as Flagey (Brussels,Belgium) the Concertgebouw (Amsterdam,The Netherlands) Sakura Hall (Tokyo,Japan) Duna Palota (Budapest,Hungary) Sendesaal of the Hessischer Rundfunk (Frankfurt,Germany) Berlin Philharmonie, Konzerthaus (Vienna,Austria) Elbphilharmonie (Hamburg, Germany) Paris Philharmonie,  KKL (Luzern, Switzerland) and others. 

Anna's true passion was always in chamber music. She joined her husband, cellist Gavriel Lipkind, as a member of the internationally acclaimed Lipkind Quartet where she played until the quartet stopped its activities in 2018. She was later a co-producer of the ‘Lipkind plays...’ series. Anna is a member of the FAE piano trio and the founder and artistic director of the Amsterdam Concert Series.
