The Fedorova &
Takser
Piano Duo

The Fedorova&Takser Piano Duo is one of Canada’s most creative and virtuosic ensembles, celebrated for their original transcriptions, multimedia collaborations, and boundary-pushing performances. Trained at the Moscow and Montreal Conservatories, Ilya Takser and Daria Fedorova have performed internationally, earning acclaim for their own arrangements—including a widely praised transcription of Mussorgsky’s "Pictures at an Exhibition" for two pianos. Their recent CD releases on the Genuin label were enthusiastically received by audiences and esteemed colleagues, and earned high praise from critics. Notably, "La Scena Musicale", Canada’s leading classical music magazine, awarded the duo five stars and its highest rating in the June issue. In 2014, the duo founded the Fedorova&Takser Piano Studio in Vancouver, which has since become one of the most respected private music schools on the West Coast. Their students have won top prizes at national and international competitions and have been regularly accepted into prestigious institutions such as Juilliard, Eastman, Oberlin Conservatory, the Manhattan School of Music, and the Montreal Conservatory, among many others. Combining European traditions with a modern, individualized approach, the studio continues to nurture the next generation of outstanding pianists.
