    Xenia Pestova Bennett: Befriending Performance Anxiety

    I have such respect for musicians who use their own journeys and learnings to help others! Described as “a powerhouse of contemporary keyboard repertoire” (Tempo), pianist and composer Xenia Pestova Bennett has earned an international reputation as a leading proponent of uncompromising music. Her work spans a wide range of sound worlds, styles and genres from classical to contemporary art music, free improvisation, experimental electronica and avant-pop. Since receiving the unanimous First Prize at the Xavier Montsalvatge International Piano Competition in Girona, Spain and prizes at the Messiaen International Piano Competition in Paris and the KeriKeri Piano Competition of New Zealand, Xenia has performed in over 20 countries - at international festivals, in concert halls, tropical rainforests, caves, ponds and countless weird and wonderful venues and spaces. She explores classical music boundaries with electronics, toy pianos, synthesizers and the magical and mysterious Magnetic Resonator Piano. As a composer, she is represented by the Contemporary Music Centre, Ireland. In addition to her performance career, Xenia is in demand as a wellbeing instructor, coach and lecturer for organisations and educational institutions around the world. She convenes a popular online performance anxiety management programme, "Befriending Performance Anxiety" for musicians of all levels. https://xeniapestovabennett.com Make sure you SUBSCRIBE to Crushing Classical, and maybe even leave a nice review!

    Kate Reddish: Consulting COO and Community Architect

    Kate Reddish is a former professional violist turned strategic operator for creative entrepreneurs. After years performing on world-class stages and working across film, television, and recording studios, Kate discovered that her real genius wasn’t just making music—it was creating harmony behind the scenes. Today, as the founder of KMR Creative, Kate helps online educators, artists, and coaches design calm, sustainable businesses through thoughtful systems, clear strategy, and deeply human leadership. She’s best known for her long-running partnership with violinist Nathan Cole, where she’s served as the operational backbone behind multiple successful course launches and programs. Kate has a rare ability to bring order to chaos without stripping away the soul of the work. Clients often say she helps them become “more themselves”—more grounded, more confident, more capable—by building systems that actually support their creativity instead of suffocating it. Equal parts strategist, listener, and quiet powerhouse, Kate believes organization is a form of care—and that when the right structure is in place, beautiful things get to happen.
