Daniel Rowland 

Daniel Rowland has established himself on the international scene as a highly versatile, communicative, charismatic and adventurous performer.

In recent seasons, Daniel has performed with orchestras from Tromso in the north of Norway to Cape Town in South Africa. He regularly performs violin concertos ranging from Beethoven and Brahms to Elgar, Berg, Korngold, Weinberg, Prokofiev and Schnittke. He has worked with conductors such as Heinz Holliger, Jaap van Zweden, Francois Xavier Roth, Lawrence Foster, Anthony Hermus, Rossen Milanov and Andrey Boreiko. Daniel also loves championing contemporary composers and is a passionate advocate of Vasks, Lindberg, Glass, Saariaho and Van der Aa's violin concertos. A passionate chamber musician, Daniel has performed with artists as diverse as Martha Argerich,  Ivry Gitlis, Heinz Holliger, Jörg Widmann, Lars Vogt and Elvis Costello. He is also a frequent guest at the  international chamber music festivals.

In 2005, Daniel founded the Stift International Music Festival, which has garnered great acclaim as one of great intimacy, adventure and atmosphere.
Daniel was the leader of the Brodsky Quartet for twelve years, performing all over the world, and making numerous recordings, including the celebrated Shostakovich Cycle. He teaches at a.o. the Royal College of Music in London, the Dutch String Quartet Academy (NSKA) in Amsterdam, and the Davidsbündler Music Academy in The Hague.

Daniel was born in London and studied with Jan Repko, Davina van Wely, Herman Krebbers, Viktor Liberman and Igor Oistrakh. Meeting Ivry Gitlis in 1995 was of great significance, leading to lessons in Paris and, later, to musical collaborations. His violin is by Lorenzo Storioni (Cremona 1796), and his bow is a Maline, kindly loaned by the Dutch Instrument Foundation. Daniel lives in Amsterdam with his wife, cellist Maja Bogdanovic, and their two daughters.

Dana Zemtsov 

Dana Zemtsov is one of the most promising viola soloists of her generation. Gramophone Magazine has celebrated her playing as being “so perfectly tuned, so varied in color and with such considerable distances in the intervals between the notes, that you would be forgiven for thinking it sounded more like a chamber orchestra”.

Dana regularly performs in concert halls such as the Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam, St. Petersburg Philharmonia, The Opera House in Tel Aviv, and Carnegie Hall in New York. She has played chamber music with Janine Jansen, Giovanni Sollima, Martin Frost, Anna Fedorova, Ilya Gringolts, Boris Berezovsky, and many others. As a soloist, Dana has performed with symphony orchestras in the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, US, Brasil, Mexico, Ukraine and Estonia, under the baton of Leif Segerstam, Otto Tausk, Daniel Raiskin, Massimo Quarta, Marco Parisotto, and Fabio Mechetti.
Upcoming highlights include performances of various viola concertos with the Bath Festival Orchestra at the Southbank Centre in London, Orchestre National de Cannes, and Mecklenburgische Staatskapelle Schwerin.

Dana is 1st Prize laureate of several competitions in Luxembourg, Italy, Austria, Germany, Portugal, and the Netherlands. In 2010 she was awarded the Dutch Young Musician of the Year. She represented The Netherlands at the Eurovision Young Musicians Competition in Vienna. She has also been awarded the prestigious Kersjes Prize, granted every year to an outstanding young musician in the Netherlands.

So far, Dana has released five critically acclaimed albums: ‘Enigma’ (solo, 2014), ‘Romantic Metamorphoses’ (with Cathelijne Noorland, 2015), ‘Essentia’ (with Estonian National Symphony Orchestra and conductor Daniel Raiskin, 2018), ‘Silhouettes’ (with pianist Anna Fedorova, 2020), ‘Dutch Hidden Gems’ (2022), and 'Fathers & Daughters' (with Anna Fedorova, Borys Fedorov and Mikhail Zemtsov, 2023), all on the Channel Classics Records label.
