Daniela Bisenius Violinist, performer and teacher Website: www.diarteentertainment.com Tel: (630) 504-9221 email:danielabisenius@yahoo.com Daniela Bisenius was born in 1965 in Bucharest, Romania. Her parents, both professional pianists, started her on violin at the age of five. Her talent was soon recognized and she was enrolled at the prestigious Music School George Enescu where she began studying with Dinu Cristea and later with Valeriu Rogacev. After graduating in 1984 she joined her father and brother in Germany, where they were both employed with major symphony orchestras and major opera houses. At 19, she won the position with the Staats philharmonie Ludwigshafen making her the youngest person ever to win a position with that orchestra. A series of orchestral and solo engagements followed including Frankfurter Opera, Munick Philharmonic, Bayerisches Rundfunk and RTL Luxembourg. She continued her studies at the Musikhochschule Saarbrucken where she studied with Russian teacher Valerie Gradov. She also attended Violin Master Classes in Nice, France with Henrick Szering and Gerarld Poulet. In 1988 she came to US, where she was awarded full scholarship to University of Iowa and studied with Prof. Leopold La Fosse. Here she appeared in a televised Master Class with Issac Stern. She then performed as an orchestra member with many professional orchestras including Naples Philharmonic, Phoenix Symphony, Lyrics Opera of Chicago, etc. Daniela is a very versatile musician. She has shared the stage with many great stars over the years such as Natalie Cole, Luther Vandross, Smokie Robinson, Kurt Elling, among, many, many others. In 2010 Daniela played fiddle in the sold out musical Always Patsy Cline, one of the four-piece band members known as “The Bodacious Bobcats” – a fantastic ensemble that anchors the legendary music. She continues to be a very active musician and a very devoted teacher. You might see her perform on stage or at a private party, recording in a studio or traveling to a festival. But if you were to ask her what she enjoys most of it, this is what she will tell you: ” Teaching. It is by far the most rewarding aspect of my career. I was fortunate enough to have incredible teachers who gave me everything they’ve got each and every lesson! That is what I want to do for my students. To be able to inspire someone through music, it is not just my job, but simply a way of life for me and the only one I know!”

An evening with singer songwritter Vivian Garcia.

Bring your dancing shoes and a lawn chair for an evening of music with this wonderful performer.

Vivian Garcia is Chicagoan born to Cuban parents. She began singing boleros and rumba flamenca covers in Chicago in 1999 with a local group and spent four years in Sarasota,Florida 2001-2005 performing in clubs throughout the region. Upon returning to Chicago without a band , she found herself desiring to grace the stage once more. She made a bold move to live in Granada, Spain to study flamenco guitar at the Escuela Carmen de Las Cueva for several months in 2006 returning in 2007 and again in 2009 to continue learning. During the years of 2010- 2013 while living in Madrid, Spain working on an M.A. in Spanish literature she longed once more to perform and came into contact with many folk musicians from the U.K., and Spain who would influence her songwriting. Playing the open mic circuit there in 2012 ,she began to write the songs that would eventually become her first self produced album “Cold Bed”. It is a blend of folk and blues with some latin influences mixed in.
Since coming back from her time abroad she has performed at several venues in Chicago including Double Door, Subterranean, Martyrs, Underground Wonder Bar as well as having performed for Cumbiasazo, Fiesta del Sol, Celebrate Clark Street World Music Festival and Villapalooza. Vivian has been a vocalist with the Chicago band ¡Esso Afrojam Funkbeat! for the last year. During this time she has had the chance to flourish vocally, singing house , funk, cumbia, salsa, reggae and many other genres. They are set to release an album this Spring 2015. She is also working an her first studio album set to be released this fall.
