"Her soul deeply touches our souls"

Daria Vasileva is a passionate concert pianist and project author who inspires not only her listeners but also her more than 60,000 subscribers on social networks, all united by their love for classical music.

Under the guidance of Professor Benjamin Moser, Daria became captivated by performing the music of Alexander Scriabin, one of the most passionate and emotionally renowned composers in the world.

Biography

After graduating from the conservatory and winning several international competitions, including Smetana International Piano Competition in the Czech Republic, Daria was awarded an ESKAS grant from the Swiss government to study at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Lucerne.

Daria received a classical education at one of Russia’s largest conservatories, in Kazan, where she honed her skills as a concert performer, ensemble artist, accompanist and teacher.

Scriabin’s music resonates particularly well with Daria’s vibrant and open-minded character. One of her recent projects involved performing a monoprogram of Scriabin’s 5 sonatas at Südpol Luzern, which received a warm reception from the Swiss audience.

— Tobias Schabenberger, German-Swiss pianist, Professor at University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland

"With the highest degree of identification, Mrs. Vasileva succeeded in bringing each sonata to life with its own characteristics. She used her wonderful pianistic skills, her sense of sound, and her understanding of connections to serve the works. Her performance was of great intensity, freedom, and clarity, both in the restrained, delicate moments and in the exuberant, unstoppable crescendos."

In Switzerland, Daria also made her debut as a soloist on the stage of one of Europe’s finest concert halls, the KKL. She performed Mozart’s Piano Concert No. 23 with the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra under the direction of conductor Michael Sanderling.

Daria’s creative spirit drives her to constantly explore new ways of expressing her musical ideas. She recently showcased her pianist talent in the "Bach and Dance" interdisciplinary project, performing Bach’s Goldberg Variations in Lucerne.

Currently, Daria is diligently crafting a concert program that pays homage to the music of both past and contemporary female composers.

This initiative aims to garner greater public attention for the often-overlooked talents of historical women composers who, regrettably, did not receive due recognition during their lifetimes.

Additionally, this effort provides a platform for present-day women composers to showcase their creations.

Additionally, she curated the program "Love is in the Air," performed in Baden, highlighting classical compositions dedicated to love. Through these endeavors, Daria aims to emphasize classical music’s enduring ability to touch the depths of human emotion and provide solace for the soul.
