Daniela Mineva, piano
Hailed by critics as a “vibrant and expressive performer who could steal the show in every concert” (The New York Times) and an “energetic and lively pianist who displaces power and delicacy in nuanced sensitivity along with virtuoso technique” (The Baltimore Sun), Daniela Mineva’s unique approach to standard repertory, combined with the performance and dedication of works by living composers, has taken her career throughout Europe, Asia, and North and South America. Daniela is currently on faculty and Director of Keyboard Studies at Cal Poly Humboldt.
