Milad Molavi: Who is Darya Dadvar?
Darya Dadvar: Darya is someone who loves life. She tries to do her best and stays true to herself. She sings from the heart and is learning and sharing constantly.
MM: Where do you live now, and why you are there?
DD: I have lived in Paris since the year 2001. In 1999, 2 years before finishing my studies at National Conservatory of Toulouse (France), I kept receiving invites for concerts around the world. I chose Paris because it’s the most beautiful town that I’ve ever seen, it inspires me, gives me ideas. Paris keeps my romance with love, alive. I came to France to continue my education and to study music. I was accepted in Conservatory to study opera and also in Ecole des Beaux Arts. One year into studying opera, I knew that my mission in life was to sing and to create.
MM: Tell us a little about how you got started with music?
DD: My mother “Nasrin Ermagan” was a singer and also director of marionette theatre in Tehran. I started hearing her singing at early days of my life. We also had “Simin Ghadiri” at school and she inspired me also. After Islamic Revolution in Iran, all music classes were canceled in all schools, so I carried on studying at home on my own, and with my mother. I tried learning one song each week, in Persian or English.
Little by little, singing became the way that I could express myself, and escape from all the problems around me. When I sing, I let go of myself, its like going out of this world, a journey to the beyond. Singing and I have become one.
MM: Please describe your special trainings and educations in Music/art?
DD: My academic education started in France. I started opera at the age of 18 with a Portuguese teacher named “Maria Sartova” in Toulon and then I continued my specialty in Toulouse (France). My second main teacher was Jasmin Martorell and my Last main teacher was Anne Fondeville. In 2000, I obtained my Diplome d’Etude Musical in Voice (Gold Medal) from National Conservatory of Toulouse and the next year my Diploma in professional cycle in Baroque style, Early Music Department, Conservatory of Toulouse directed by Herve Niquet.
I have participated in many master classes with great singers from all around the world such as: Anna Maria Bondi, Gabriel Bacquier, Charles Brett, Robert Dumet, Jill Feldmann, etc.
At the same time, I was studying Fine Art and obtained my Masters in Art in 1997 at l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts of Toulouse.
MM: What is your motivation to music?
DD: For me art is a creation and creating is what keeps me going. I like it because there is no end to what you can do/achieve.
In the course of my artistic life, I could never think of my art as a job. But obviously, since singing is what I like to do, it has to earn a living for me as well. Ideally, all I like to do is to sit down in front of my piano, and create, create and create. And then sing and sing. I believe we grow through creation.
Singing is not a job for me, it’s a way of life, it’s love. It’s like an endless road on which I always enjoy traveling.
MM: Who are your teachers/mentors?
DD: At this moment I have no teacher. I listen to a lot of different kinds of music and I go to many concerts. Most of my learning comes from observing nature and life. Like says our great poet Roudaki: (One who doesn’t learn from life, will never learn from any teacher)
