She regularly collaborates with contemporary composers and has sung many world premieres in a wide range of genres, performing in festivals and concert series throughout Europe and Israel.
As a member of the International Divertimento Ensemble Academy (Milan), Danielle will give several concerts at the Rondò festival in Milan and in Bologna in the upcoming season.
Danielle is a core member and soloist in the international CHOREOS ensemble, which consists of 16 voices and is one of the only ensembles in the world to create fully staged and choreographed productions of choral a capella music. With this ensemble she performs regularly in festivals throughout Europe and in renowned venues such as the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Festspielhaus Baden-Baden and in the upcoming season also in the Alte Oper Frankfurt.
Also a passionate choral singer, Danielle has appeared regularly with Hans-Christoph Rademann and the JSB Ensemble in venues such as the Liederhalle in Stuttgart. She recently became a member of the Philharmonischer Chor München.
Together with her husband, the pianist Elisha Kravitz, she formed the Liedduo Barash-Kravitz, which is characterized by its conceptualized art-song programs and dedication to lesser known and rediscovered works. Their main interest lies in repertoire from the late romantic period up to the 21st century and collaboration with contemporary composers.
Danielle began her musical education with violin lessons at the age of seven. She holds a specialized Master’s degree in contemporary music performance from the Musikhochschule in Stuttgart (classes of Prof. Angelika Luz and Prof. Yeree Suh) and Bachelor's degree in classical singing from the Buchmann-Mehta School of Music in Tel-Aviv (class of Mrs. Danna Glaser). A further important vocal and artistic influence is the Israeli soprano Elinor Sohn.
