Two daughters of Ukrainian pianist Vadym Kholodenko found slain in Texas home

The young daughters of renown Ukrainian pianist Vadym Kholodenko have been found dead at their home near Fort Worth, Texas.

Nika and Michela Kholodenko, 5 and 1, were discovered on Thursday morning along with their 31-year-old mother Sofia Tsygankova, who suffered multiple stab wounds, according to police in Benbrook.

The Tarrant County medical examiner identified the girls and said that they were found in a bedroom, but did not say how they died.

Police, who are investigating the incident as a double homicide and assault, said that neither child had stab wounds.

Their classical music star father is scheduled to play Friday, Saturday and Sunday with the Fort Worth Symphony.

A spokeswoman for the Van Cliburn Foundation, which manages Kholodenko, told the Daily News that the symphony would make an announcement about the performances on Friday, and added that her organization had not heard from the musician.

It was not clear as of Thursday night where he was in the morning.

Kholodenko had filed for divorce from Tsygankova in November after five years of marriage, and had not lived with her since August, according to NBC DFW.

The 29-year-old pianist was born in Kiev, later moving to Moscow for more musical training before recently making a home in Texas.

He achieved fame after winning prizes at international competitions, including a gold medal at the Fort Worth-based Van Cliburn International Competition in 2013.
