Diana Brekalo
The pianist was born and brought up in Stuttgart (Germany), and is of Croatian descent. Formative studies in Germany with Ana Hartauer, Monika Giurgiuman and Prof.S.Rudiakov revealed her talents not only as in imaginative and thoughtful solo pianist, but also as notable accompanist and fine chamber musician.
By the age of twelve, Brekalo had already won four first prizes as soloist and two first prizes as a chamber musician in the German "Jugendmusiziert" , and her precocious musical development was continued through generous grants from the "Oskar und Vera Ritter" foundation, the Baden-Württemberg Associations Patronage Price, and the ZEIT grant in the "Deutsche SitftungMusikleben".
2001-2004 she was a Junior Student at the Musikhochschule Stuttgart, where she started her studies in 2004 in the class of Prof.S.Rudiakov. In 2006 she came to London to undertake further studies at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama under the guidance of Joan Havill, having gained a distinction in the Bachelor of music (Hons) as well as in her Master of Music (performance). She was grateful for the financial support of the Leverhulme Trust and the Worshipful Companies of Innholders and Insurers as well as the Simon Phillis Award and the Sergei Rachmaninoff award.
The Kammerchor Stuttgart ranks as one of the leading ensembles of its kind. During the forty years of its existence, Frieder Bernius has developed the choir into an extraordinary phenomenon which is valued by audiences and critics alike. The well known "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" reported that it was “a vocally wonderfully constituted ensemble with every imaginable virtue from lyrical brilliance and utterly perfect purity of intonation to a malleability in text declamation which could hardly be surpassed.” The ZEIT an other international german newspaper, wrote recently “No superlative is wasted, to praise this choir.”
