The Piano Duo
„The greatest strength of Marshinina and Leine’s duo is their stage presence. It is astonishing how these young artists can grip a concert audience with their musical charisma and creative power.“
— Lilya Zilberstein
When Daria Marshinina and Linda Leine first sat together at the piano in Lilya Zilberstein’s class in 2011, they experienced a magical moment: this is where two kindred spirits immediately recognised their mutual musical ideal and quickly became inseparable at the keyboard.
They gained essential impulses in the renowned duo-class led by Hans-Peter and Volker Stenzl at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Rostock, where they also regularly worked with the Chipak-Kushnir piano duo. They also studied with the piano duo Genova & Dimitrov and Andreas Groethuysen, Jacques Rouvier and Pavel Gililov.
Their programmes are mainly characterised by their interest in the diversity of the repertoire: solo, four-handed and two-piano. Last but not least, their Russian and Latvian roots also have a significant influence.
Daria Marshinina and Linda Leine have already given concerts in Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Latvia, and the USA. They are both scholarship holders of the Claussen-Simon-Stiftung.
