After his stunning American debut at the Discovery Series of the Miami International Piano Festival in 2003, Misha Dacić  quickly became a sought after soloist throughout the U.S. and was featured at Ravinia's Rising Stars Series in Chicago, followed by performances at the Gilmore Keyboard Festival Rising Stars Recital Series in Kalamazoo, the Xavier University Classical Piano Series in Cincinnati, The Golandsky Institute International Piano Festival at Princeton University, Frederic Chopin Society's Concert Series in Minneapolis and  the Leschetitzky Piano Series in New York.

     Internationally, Dacić has performed at Festivals in Guatemala City and Antigua, at the International Antalya Piano Festival in Turkey, and as a soloist with the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra for the Tourmaline Pianist's Series at the Teatro Municipal in Rio de Janeiro, and with the National Symphony of Panama at the ASM Festival in Panama City.

     Misha Dacić was born in 1978 in Ex-Yugoslavia, into a family with a mu sical tradition, where he first impressed audiences at age 11 by performing with a local orchestra. Kemal Gekic, Frank Cooper, Lazar and Valentina Berman, and Jorge Luis Prats are counted among his mentors.

     Forthcoming engagements include several duo recitals with the violinist Ida Haendel under the auspices of the United Nations, a Tango project with the Grammy award winning pianist/composer Pablo Ziegler, and a collaboration with the Argentinean bandoneon player Hector del Curto. Misha Dacić currently lives in Miami and is a grateful recipient of support from Patrons of Exceptional Artists.
