Emanuela Zaharia-Donici

Emanuela is currently attending piano lessons with Y. Sugimoto-Shestiperov at the local music school called Hofer Symphoniker Musikschule, which was also the place of her youth. In her youth her teachers were T. Cosacchi, Prof. A. Hamary, and Prof. C. Vickers and as an adult she spent five years of lessons with Prof. W. Doeberlein, a very important time for her piano development. In those years she participated in the amateur competitions in Warsaw and Chicago, in 2012 she was the winner of the Vienna Bösendorfer amateur competition. After this intensive period of participating in several amateur piano competitions and concerts, she decided to again concentrate upon the improvement of her professional skills as a physician, thus she completely stopped piano playing from 2018 until 2022. Since summertime 2022 she plays again in her free time and loves to continuously improve her musical abilities. As she also sang when she was young, she is also part of a choir since last autumn. She has a stable workplace as a physician in emergency medicine.
