In his impressive international presence, he performed as a soloist in prestigious venues across the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, France, Poland, Croatia, Germany and Russia. Most notable appearances include renowned venues such as the Wigmore Hall, Usher Hall, Southbank Centre, Palau de la Música, Fazioli Hall, Verbier Festival and Tchaikovsky Conservatoire in Moscow. Additionally, both his live and studio performances have been broadcast by BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Radio 3 and Scala Radio.

In the 2024/25 season, Nikita tours Scotland with 40 recitals and outreach events throughout the country, spanning from the Scottish Borders to Orkney Islands and from Aberdeen to the Isle of Skye. This tour is in close collaboration with the Live Music Now Scotland, and Nikita will deliver outreach events in local care homes and schools in the area of his recitals. He says: “It is an unbelievable feeling when people’s eyes sparkle so joyfully and sincerely after the performances, and I know I contributed something valuable for them.”

Highlights of the 2024/25 season include recitals at the Bechstein Hall in London, Perth Concert Hall, Armourers’ Hall in London, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Inverness Town Hall, St Martin-in-the-Fields in London and St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh.
