Danielle Daoukayeva-dos Santos
Growing up in the same city as Janine Jansen, Danielle was inspired by the sounds of the violin at an early age. Her first music lessons were held in the musical surroundings of the Warenberg family.
After a few years, she continued her lessons with Igor Rukhadze and was accepted, at the age of ten, to the Young Talent department of the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague. Having graduated with her Bachelor’s, Danielle also obtained a double Masterʼs degree – Master of Music Violin and Master of Chamber Music in 2018 with Janet Krause.
Danielle has been awarded prizes in various competitions, such as First Prize EuroConcours Lionsclub, NL (2016); First Prize at the Grote Kamermuziek Prijs De Doelen; Finals of Grachten Festival Concours and Storioni Toonzaal Prijs and a First prize at the Prinses Christina Concours.
