Every time we are offering to the winner of the Competition a certain number of concerts in Europe, the United States and Japan during two years after the reception of the Prize. It is the regulation of the Competition, - said to the ‘EU Reporter’ Yves Robert, the French member of the Jury.  ‘The final concert is given at the European Parliament to conclude the engagement towards the winner and to launch a new competition’.

Daria Kameneva plays Rachmaninoff in the European Parliament Mezzanine open space.

At the moment until the end of May the Competition is receiving inscriptions in ensemble of European capitals:  London, Paris, Milan, Moscow, Berlin and Vilnius. The jury consists of seven nationals of various European countries: Germany, Austria, France, Poland, Finland, Ireland and Lithuania, chairing the contest as President of the Council of the European Union during the second half of 2013.  The musicians perform works exclusively on instruments of the Japanese firm Shigeru Kawai  – the rivals to Steinway. Kawai company is not only producing exquisite pianos, but generously sponsoring cultural activities to promote piano music.

It was not an ordinary experience for Daria to perform in the European Parliament’s Mezzanine a virtuoso program of Chopin, Beethoven and Rachmaninoff  oeuvre while people were walking from one floor to the other, turning heads and switching to whisper when hearing the sounds music.
‘If I knew that it will be in such an open space, I would prepare much lighter program, - said Daria to the EU Reporter. – It was quite unusual for me. I must admit it was first time’, - adds she with a smile.
Not afraid of difficulties as a real winner should be it was Daria who guided the workers to install the beautiful grand-piano ‘Shigeru Kawai’ next to the wooden wall to get ‘better quality of the sound’.
The readiness to overcome the obstacles is more than self-discipline indispensable for anyone who chose music for profession; Daria switched to piano after a successful start in ballet, attending famous Bolshoi College. It was a fatal trauma that forced her to abandon the ballet abruptly at age of 14.

Born into the family of the physics Daria (26) says that her parents tried their best to give her broader education, especially focused on arts. ‘Once my mother has dreamt to become a musician, so she supported me all along the way’.  Next to her parents Daria phrases her teachers at different stages of her brilliant career, being convinced that programs and methods of Russian music schools are perfected to such an extent that they remain unchallenged. While there are talented teachers in different countries, Russian music educations stays at high level as an institution.

‘I wish musicians had easier life in Russia, - regrets Daria. – In spite of their high professionalism the earnings stay inferior. Many have to leave for the West, looking for better working conditions’.

MEP Kristiina Ojuland welcomes Mr Yves Robert from the Competition's jury.

The classical education bore fruit of an exceptional attachment to the Old Masters: ‘If I would come across music of my contemporary equal to Bach, I would be delighted to perform it!’
Till now Beethoven late sonata’s stay the most magnetic to interpret: ‘Each of his late sonata’s are so profound, they have an infinite depth, as each of them was a philosophical conclusion of this entire life’, - said the pianist to explain her choice of Sonata 30 flat major.

However unconventional the format of the Gala-concert of the winner of European competition of young pianists was it caused genuine interest and admiration, making the walkers to stop and to take a reflection pause, standing in a line along the windows.
‘Thanking Daria for the magnificent performance I joked about ‘non-academic’ atmosphere of the event, reminding our Estonian proverb: ‘Now you have something to try to forget!’, meaning that many-many years later you will forget the inconveniences and you’ll  be reminiscent of the this experience because of the warmth of feeling and genuine gratitude of people how came’, - said MEP Ojuland from ‘European Music Concerts’ to the ‘EU Reporter’.

The performances of the IV Competition  are scheduled for  9 -20 October in Ouistreham and Caen in Normandie.
