Maxim Kosinov was born in St-Petersburg, Russia in 1983 and began his music studies when he was three years old. He started to play the violin when he was 5 and studied at the Special Music School per N. A. Rimskiy-Korsakov Conservatoire in St. Petersburg with Professors Dobrynina, Aranovskaya and Ovtcharek, obtaining a Diploma in 2001. In the same year he entered the N.A. Rimskiy-Korsakov Conservatoire in St. Petersburg and continued his studies with Professor Ovtcharek.
Maxim went on to study with Professor Uwe Martin Haiberg at the Universität der Künste Berlin in 2003, graduating five years later with a Bachelor of Music degree (with honours) and obtained the best possible grade in Germany.
In addition to modern violin he spent three years, from 2000 until 2003, studying baroque violin with Marie Leonhard (Amsterdam, Holland) and Andrey Reshetine (Artistic Director of the International Early Music Festival, St. Petersburg). From 2001, he played for a year in the first regular Russian baroque orchestra, the “Catherine the Great Orchestra”. Whilst a baroque violinist in the Orchestra of the Dutch Bach Society (2003-2005), he played under the baton of conductors such as Masaako Suzuki, Jos van Veldhoven and Marcus Creed.
His participation in master classes with Marie Leonhardt was supported by scholarships from the Gartow and the Zeit Foundations in Germany in 2001-2002. He attended the Orchestra Academy of the Radio Symphony Orchestra (Berlin) in 2004-2005. A later Ferenc-Fricsay Scholarship provided the opportunity for him to play in the German Symphony Orchestra
