Anna Luboshutz

Although she was recognized first and foremost as a cellist, her piano playing was distinguished enough that she accompanied some of the great artists of the day including the violinist Eugène Ysaÿe when he came to Moscow.

[4] Following the Russian Revolution, Luboshutz decided to remain in the Soviet Union with her husband, Nikolai Shereshevsky, a distinguished physician who was treated well by the new regime.

[3][4] After the Revolution, she toured constantly throughout the Soviet Union performing not only in concert halls but in factories, aboard naval ships of the Northern Fleet, and even, on one occasion, deep underground in a coal mine in the Donats Basin region for the workers.

In 1939, the Philharmonic honored her with an award which bore the inscription: “You are an artist whose conscientiousness and commitment to her work serves as an example to others.”[5][6] Her final concert was on 19 February 1947.

[1] Lyuboshits was married to the internist Nikolai Adolfowitsch Schereschewski and their daughter Nadeschda Nikolaevna Schereschewskaja (1915–1998) became a philologist.

[6] Luboshutz's sister Lea was a celebrated violinist who emigrated to the United States and taught at the Curtis Institute of Music.

Her brother Pierre Luboshutz formed a well-known duo-piano team with his wife Genia Nemenoff.

The wall of Novodevichy Cemetery is used as a columbarium.
