Born in the little Republic of Moldova, Rusanda Panfili used her authenticity, passion and proud Eastern European heritage to become one of Europe’s recognisable and prominent musicians, composers and arrangers. Currently living in Austria, she has been playing the violin for 28 years but is as well a singer, multi-instrumentalist of numerous string instruments and also analog synthesisers. During her musical journey she worked alongside superstars like Hans Zimmer, Brian May, Gavin Greenaway, Gabriel Yared, Steve Vai, Guthrie Govan, Carlos Rafael Rivera, Valentina Nafornita, Tina Guo, Worakls or Igudesman & Joo. Rusanda was admitted to the “Conservatory of Music in Vienna” at the age of 11, as one of the youngest students in the history of the institution. She finished her Bachelors and Masters at the “University of Music in Vienna”, under the supervision of the prodigious teachers Alexander Arenkow, Christian Altenburger and Edward Zienkowsky. Rusanda had her solo debut with orchestra at the age of 13 and has performed numerous classical concerts with international orchestras such as the Palermo Classica Orchestra, Dresdner Staatskapelle, TeleRadio Orchestra, the RSO Vienna, Grossetto Symphony Orchestra, the Symphonic Orchestra of Mexico and OrquestraVigo 420. Rusanda performed as a soloist in prestigious festivals such as the Trans-Siberian Festival, Palermo Classica Festival, Verbier Festival, Schwäbischer Frühling and in the finest concert halls such as the Musikverein and Konzerthaus in Vienna, the Atheneum in Bukarest or the Teatro Real in Madrid. In 2016, Rusanda created “Panfili&Friends” - a group of 6 fantastic musicians, united under the common goal to have fun and combine classical music with international folklore. In 2020 “Panfili&Friends” released their first international album - “Primul” which contains many traditional folk songs from Rusanda’s home country Moldova, but as well hits such as “Libertango” by Astor Piazzolla. Rusanda is working closely and is being supported by various international companies such as Meinl Percussion, Gewa, Strymon Engineering, Larsen Strings, Merging, Remic Microphones and SE Electronics. For the last couple of years, she has been playing a sensational violin, created by Giovanni Paolo Maggini in 1610, loaned to her by a private Austrian foundation. Through her collaboration with Hans Zimmer, Rusanda performed over 200 concerts in the “Hans Zimmer Live” and “The World of Hans Zimmer” world tours, side by side with A1 musicians such as Guthrie Govan, Lisa Gerard, and Lebo M. With a current view count of over 15 million on her Youtube channel, Rusanda is actively promoting her music to a growing fanbase of 200.000 people worldwide. She is also actively involved in supporting the charity organisations in Moldova, which helps orphaned children and poor families in need. From her private recording studio in Austria, Rusanda collaborates with various Hollywood movie productions, records remotely for international artists, composes and produces her own music.
