"Darya displays awe-inspiring musical skill"
Shay Shir - YUVAL EREL MUSIC AND CULTURE MAGAZINE

Darya Mosenzon is a pianist specializing in North African music. She began playing the piano and composing at a young age and studied classical music throughout her childhood, but was drawn since adolescence to other genres of music as well, culminating in her choice to pursue Moroccan and Algerian music. She studied North African music with teachers in Israel and Morocco, including Omri Mor, Elad Levi, Mehdi Chaachoo and Amin Chaachoo.

After several years of studying and performing in the North African traditions, Darya began composing original music that draws on North African traditions as well as genres she grew up on, namely Classical, Jazz and Rock music. The result is a performance that moves between intimate heartfelt melodies and erupting rhythms, dubbed by Haaretz as "a blend of meticulous restraint and exhilarating passion."

Darya performs solo piano shows, as well as duo and trio shows featuring Grammy-nominated oudist Charlie Sabach and percussionist Hillel Amsallem. Additional collaborations with her trio include prominent artists in the North African music genres, among them Raymonde el Bidaouia, Neta Elkayam, Lior Elmaleh, Elad Levi and Lala Tamar. has received grants from Rabinovitch Foundation and Tel Aviv Municipality, and was selected as one of 12 Israeli delegates at WOMEX 2022. 2023 has seen her touring Morocco, Portugal, Spain and Hungary with her solo and trio projects.
