Oleg Sharov was born in 1946 in St.Petersburg-Russia and is a product of the wide range of musical facilities offered by the former Soviet State system. After preparatory schooling, he attended, at the age of eight, one of the Children's Music Schools in St. Petersburg, of which there are no less than fifty in this great musically famous city. His chosen instrument was the accordion.

After 'Middle Level' studies, he secured one of only 20 places available that year, at the world famous St. Petersburg "Rimsky Korsakov" Conservatory of Music. He then completed five years of study, and was invited to join one of the privileged classes called 'Asperantura', which led to his appointment as a tutor at the Conservatory. He is now Senior Professor of Music and Head of the Accordion Department at this famous Conservatory of Music.

Oleg Sharov has toured extensively in the USSR, Finland and Eastern Europe. It was not until Peristroika, that he was able to tour in the West and Scandinavia (1987) and the USA (1990).
