Born in Melbourne in 1981, Daniel de Borah began his musical education with his mother at the age of six. He went on to study at the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest and the St. Petersburg State Conservatoire graduating with honours in 2004. His teachers have included Zsuzsa Eszto, Mira Jevtic and Nina Seryogina. In 2004 Daniel won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he currently studies as a postgraduate with Tatyana Sarkissova, and in 2005 he was selected for representation by Young Concert Artists Trust (YCAT) in London.

Daniel has already performed widely in Australia, Europe and Russia including concerts at Sydney Opera House (Concert Hall & Opera Theatre), the St Petersburg Small Philharmonic Hall, St Petersburg State Cappella, Vilnius Academy of Music and the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest. As a concerto soloist he has appeared with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Australian Chamber Orchestra, Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and Tbilisi Symphony Orchestra, among others.

During his studies Daniel has won numerous national and international awards including 3rd Prizes at the 2004 Sydney International Piano Competition, the 2001 Tbilisi International Piano Competition and the 2000 Arthur Rubinstein in Memoriam Competition in Poland. This summer he won the Croydon Concerto Competition, leading to appearances with the Croydon, Lambeth, Guildford and Epsom Symphony Orchestras. He has participated in masterclasses with John Lill, Gyorgy Nador, Boris Berman, Nikolai Demidenko, Stephen Hough, Alexander Satz and many others.

Engagements during the 2005/06 season include debut concerts at the Purcell Room, Wigmore Hall (11 April and 12 June), Fairfield Halls (18 April), St. George’s Bristol and Bridgewater Hall. In May Daniel returns to Australia to give a series of recitals and concerto performances.

Daniel is grateful for support from the Australian Music Foundation, Ars Musica Australis, the Countess of Munster Trust, Myra Hess Trust, Hattori Foundation and the Tait Memorial Trust. As there is another pianist active in London named Daniel Hill, he has recently assumed his mother’s family name – de Borah.
