Guitar Concert in Saint Julien

About the Event

Experience the magic of classical music at the stunning Eglise Saint‐Julien‐le‐Pauvre in Paris.

Born 1999 in Russia, Vera Danilina has rapidly established herself as one of the most talented and promising classical guitarists of her generation.
Beginning her studies at the tender age of 5 under the guidance of Olga Odrina, Vera’s talent was clear from the outset. Her dedication led to winning the international competition Guitar Gems in Israel in 2011.

Despite her young age, Vera’s successful experiences with orchestras in both competitions and concerts are impressive.
After winning one of the most prestigious competitions in the world the 'Michele Pittaluga' for classical guitarists held in Alessandria, Italy, Vera has been touring Europe with concerts since 2023. In July 2023, the guitarist released her debut album on the “Contrastes Records” label, which received widespread acclaim.
