Her schedule for 2009 includes, amongst other things, an extensive concert tour through China and South America.
Anzhelika received her first musical training at the local music school in Užhorod, Ukraine. In 2002, she attended the city’s conservatory. In 2005, Anzhelika moved to Hungary to study at Budapest’s Franz Liszt Academy (where she is still a student).
In international piano competitions, Fuks won First Prize in Kyiv-Vorsel, Grand Prix at the Zakarpatija Festival of Užhorod, Second Prize at the Donetsk Competition in honour of Serge Prokofiev’s 110th birthday, and First Prize at the 2008 Yamaha Competition in Budapest.
