The Artist:
 
Dina Duisen - was born into a family of musicians in Almaty city, Kazakhstan in 1983. Her father plays the Kazakh national instrument “Dombra” and her mother is a piano teacher – both teaching at the Kazakh National Academy of Music in Astana. At the age of five Dina started studying piano at Kulyash Bayseitova State Special School for Gifted Children (together with her two brothers Ordabek and Ilyas who are both violinists) and at the age of thirteen she made her debut with the Symphonic Orchestra.
 
After graduation from school Dina continued her studies at the Kazakh National Academy of Music where she graduated with distinction in 2005 before being awarded a full scholarship to the “Artist Diploma” programme at the Texas Christian University in Fort Worth from which she graduated in 2008. At the same time Dina was invited to work as a teacher of music at the Texas Wesleyan University. In September 2008 she began studying for the new Master of Arts Degree in Performance at the Royal Academy of Music (an award of the University of London) under the tutelage of Christopher Elton.
 
Dina has participated and had success in a number of music competitions. She was a semi-finalist in Krainev’s competition in Ukraine (1996), participated in the “Meerim” festival in Kyrgyzstan (1997), as well as “Ainalayn” and Zhubanov festivals in Kazakhstan (1996-1997), the National Competition of Kazakhstan (1999) and the international competition “Musician of the 21st Century” (2002); Dina also won the third prize in the 29th International Piano Competition in Senigallia in Italy as well as the first prize in “Chamber Music – Duo Category” at the “Shabyt” International Competition in Kazakhstan.
 
Dina also participated in a number of international music festivals performing both as a soloist and a chamber musician in Europe and the USA including the Music Festival in Rome and the Oxford Piano International Festival. She has also taken master classes with a number of outstanding teachers - Gary Graffman, Vladimir Krainev, Marios Papadopoulos, Marcello Abbado, Yoheved Kaplinsky, Alexander Mndoyantc, Niel Immelman and Vladimir Viardo.    
 
Last year Dina was one out of eight pianists selected to participate in “Sergei Babayan’s Academy” at the Cleveland Institute of Music in Ohio.
 
Together with her violinist brother Ordabek, Dina started to play chamber music as the “Duisen Duo” while attending the State Special Music School in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
