Daria D’Andrea (violin/viola) lives in San Francisco where she performs with both ‘period’ and modern ensembles. She is an adjunct professor of violin and viola at USF and teaches privately at the SF Waldorf Schools. Much of her period instrument training was in Europe where she worked with outstanding leaders of the early music movement including Roy Goodman, Ton Koopman, Andrew Manze and Jaap Ter Linden. While living in Oxford, England, Daria toured Europe with the European Community Baroque Orchestra. Since 1996, she has specialized in solo viola recitals with fortepiano, exploring solo and chamber literature of the late 18th century. Daria was a longtime member of The Women’s Philharmonic and retains an interest in advocating for the work of women composers.
