Daria Vasileva is a passionate concert pianist and project author who inspires audiences and over 80,000 social media followers united by their love for classical music. Her artistic mission centers on popularizing the works of Alexander Scriabin, whose visionary and emotional music perfectly reflects her expressive character and bold artistic spirit.

Daria received her classical training at the Kazan Conservatory, one of Russia’s leading music institutions, where she developed as a concert performer, ensemble artist, accompanist, and teacher.
