Acclaimed Signum artist Alexandra Dariescu brings a new combination of concertos: Clara

Schumann’s Concerto in A minor Op. 7 coupled with Grieg’s A minor concerto Op. 16. Alexan- dra Dariescu is a trailblazing pianist who demonstrates fearless curiosity and ground-break- ing innovation. As part of her artistic journey, Dariescu has achieved gender equality in her

concerto programming for three consecutive seasons, reviving and premiering important works by both male and female composers, championing inclusion and diversity. “I got to know Clara Schumann’s Concerto and fell in love with this youthful piece, full of dreams, fiendish virtuosity and a testament to what an innovative performer and composer Clara was, even as a teenager. [Recording these works] It made me realise once again what a responsibility we all have to show both sides of history, to mirror our society in concert programmes and to shine a light on the often-overlooked brilliance of women composers” – Alexandra Dariescu.
