Daphne Alsu Banaz, piano

Daphne, age 11, began her classical piano studies at the age of six under the guidance of Dr. Dilbar Khashimov, a former professor of the Uzbek State Conservatory and a graduate of the Moscow State Conservatory. Over the past five years, she has built a strong foundation in both technique and musical expression through regular practice.

In addition to piano, Daphne studies the violin as her second instrument, further enriching her musical experience. She regularly participates in seasonal recitals held at various venues and has performed at a range of musical events.

Beyond music, Daphne is actively engaged in ballet and is a multilingual student, speaking English, Russian, and Turkish. She loves music and continues to grow as a young artist, bringing enthusiasm, sensitivity, and joy to her performances.
