About Daniela Bisenius
Daniela Bisenius was born in 1965 in Bucharest, Romania. Her parents, both professional pianists, started her on violin at the age of five. Her talent was soon recognized and she was enrolled at the prestigious Music School George Enescu where she began studying with Dinu Cristea and later with Valeriu Rogacev. After graduating in 1984 she joined her father and brother in Germany, where they were both employed with major symphony orchestras and major opera houses. At 19, she won the position with the Staatsphilharmonie Ludwigshafen making her the youngest person ever to win a position with that orchestra. A series of orchestral and solo engagements followed including Frankfurter Opera, Munick Philharmonic, Bayerisches Rundfunk and RTL Luxembourg. She continued her studies at the Musikhochschule Saarbrucken where she studied with Russian teacher Valerie Gradov. She also attended Violin Master Classes in Nice, France with Henrick Szering and Gerarld Poulet. In 1988 she came to US, where she was awarded full scholarship to University of Iowa and studied with Prof. Leopold La Fosse. Here she appeared in a televised Master Class with Issac Stern.
She then performed as an orchestra member with many professional orchestras including Naples Philharmonic, Phoenix Symphony, Lyrics Opera of Chicago, etc.
Daniela is a very versatile musician. She has shared the stage with many great stars over the years such as Natalie Cole, Luther Vandross, Smokie Robinson, Kurt Elling, among, many, many others.
She continues to be a very active musician and a very devoted teacher. You might see her perform on stage or at a private party, recording in a studio or traveling to a festival.But if you were to ask her what she enjoys most of it, this is what she will tell you: " Teaching.It is by far the most rewarding aspect of my career. I was fortunate enough to have incredible teachers who gave me everything they've got each and every lesson! That is what I want to do for my students. To be able to inspire someone through music, it is not just my job, but simply a way of life for me and the only one I know!"
****************************
The Musicians I work with are some of the most intelligent, versatile, and experienced musicians I know. I've selected carefully through out the years the type of people I want to work with, the people I want to represent my business. Professionalism, reliability and experience are three most important ingredients to providing excellent service to my clients. I love, appreciate and respect the people I work with.
Live music transforms any event by setting the mood, engaging guests through audience interaction, creating unique atmospheres, and making the experience memorable and emotional, moving beyond simple background noise to foster connection, energy, and brand enhancement, all through adaptable, versatile performances tailored to the event's theme and flow. Musicians provide an immersive, authentic energy that recorded music can't match, encouraging participation and shared joy, whether it's a solo guitarist for ambiance or a full band for dancing.
Key Roles of Live Music at Events:
- Atmosphere & Mood: Sets the tone, from elegant dinner jazz to high-energy party vibes, influencing emotions and making guests feel welcome.
- Audience Engagement: Breaks down barriers, encourages dancing, taking requests, and fostering a sense of shared experience and connection.
- Memorability: Creates lasting memories through unique interactions, spontaneous moments, and powerful emotional resonance that guests recall long after the event.
- Versatility & Adaptability: Musicians read the room, adjusting tempo and song choice in real-time to match the event's progression, unlike playlists.
- Focal Point & Energy: Draws people together, generates excitement (hype), and provides a central source of entertainment and vitality.
- Professionalism & Branding: Elevates an event's perceived quality, demonstrating attention to detail and aligning the brand with sophistication, especially for corporate events.
Large-Scale & Public Events:
- Music Festivals: Multi-genre experiences like Coachella, or specialized ones for World Music, Ska, or EDM.
- Concerts & Gigs: From stadium rock to intimate jazz clubs in New Orleans or Lisbon tavernas.
- Community Events: Summer block parties, cultural festivals (LatiNxt, Bastille Day), and farmer's markets.
- Charity Events: Benefit concerts, galas, or fundraisers.
Private & Corporate Events:
- Weddings & Anniversaries: To set a romantic or celebratory mood.
- Birthday Parties: For all ages, adding excitement to milestone celebrations.
- Holiday Parties: Christmas, New Year's Eve, or themed seasonal parties.
- Corporate Functions: Work parties, product launches, or networking events.
Themed & Niche Gatherings:
- Dance Parties: Country line dancing, silent discos, or house music nights.
- Open Mic Nights & Comedy Shows: To feature local talent.
- Gospel Events: Showcasing choirs and spiritual music.
- Cultural Nights: Fado in Portugal, Flamenco in Spain, or Celtic music.
Everyday & Local Settings:
- Restaurants & Cafes: Creating ambiance for diners.
Contact me, let me know how you have envisioned your special day to be. From small or large private events to large corporate events. From solo performers, to small or large ensembles, we can do it all. Rely on our expertise to turn any event into an unforgettable one, because this is what music is and does!
"The effervescent "Bougainvillea" has a slightly retro ambience, spiced with bossa nova sensibilities, his deeply resonant tone not only leading the rhythm section but also weaving a tight improvisation that adds intellectual heft to the tune without being abstruse. A brief duet with Daniela Bisenius leads to spotlighting the violinist's agile fluidity that is part Paganini-inspired virtuosity and part Tsigan-esque pyrotechnics."
