Piano Duo Desislava Shtereva & Evgenia Simeonova

Created 20 years ago, the piano duo Desislava Shtereva – Evgenia Simeonova is constantly expanding and enriching their repertoire. Much of it is new, unpopular and has sounded in a number of prestigious halls, concerts and festivals. Along with the interpretations of well-known works of the world repertoire for such ensemble, duo Shtereva – Simeonova performs premieres in Bulgaria and works by Leopold Kojelluh, Darius Milhaud, Francis Poulenc, Jeannot Heinen and Conlon Nancarrow. Evidence of their high performing mastery is the creation of a number of Bulgarian works for a piano duo, tailored to the specifics of their ensemble and devoted to them.

Their performances in our and international scenes are a continuous ascending success. The duo is the winner of Crystal Lyre. In the last few concert seasons, the duo has a keen interest in 4, 6 and 8-hand piano ensembles, with works of the Baroque era and classics. Significant artistic value have the studio recordings of the duo for the Bulgarian National Radio, and BNT performs a series of films, some of which are dedicated to the ensemble. At present, Dessislava Shtereva is an associate professor at the Department of Piano at the Theoretical Faculty of the National Academy of Music “Prof. Pancho Vladigerov” and at the NBU. Evgenia Simeonova is a professor at the Department of Piano at the Theoretical Faculty of the National Academy of Music “Prof. Pancho Vladigerov”, Sofia.
