Duo Daria Mattia Zappa, Violin and Cello
Since the eighties, and early childhood, Daria and Mattia Zappa have performed in small theatres across Switzerland together with their father Marco Zappa, the renowned singer/songwriter from Ticino. Thus they developed a very particular and rich artistic personality on their instruments, from the coolness of jazz/rock improvisation to the severity of classical music. Following a classical training (Mattia studied at the Juilliard School in New York and Daria at the Musikhochschule in Freiburg i. Br.), the pair reunited in a duo which, over almost twenty years, played large parts of the duo repertoire for violin and violoncello and won the “Orpheus-Konzerte” prize for young talents in Zürich in 1998. The duo has subsequently commissioned new works and performed world premiers of various new compositions including “Su Gentile Invito” by Francesco Hoch, “Duo” by Massimiliano Matesic, “Roter Raum” by Martin Wettstein and “Duo” by Daniele Giorgi. The label Guild published their CD “Portrait” in the summer of 2007. Daria and Mattia Zappa presently play as appreciated chamber musicians in various ensembles (Duo Zappa.Mainolfi, GoldbergTrioLucerne, casalQUARTETT) and as soloists, they are also active in the didactic and symphonic fields (Tonhalle Orchester Zürich).
