Songwriter and musician Zaritza is a maker of music that embraces cultural contrast. Her electro-pop/rock music reflects a creative journey from classical tradition to digital innovation. It also reflects a personal journey from Russia to New York to Navesink ...following the path taken a century ago by her musical hero: the legendary composer Sergei Rachmaninoff. • Anastasia Moiseeva, performing under the name “Zaritza”, is a singer, pianist and songwriter whose electro-pop/rock music combines modern digital soundscapes with dramatic, romantic elements from her Russian classical roots. • • Zaritza’s music reflects her cultural journey from the rich classical traditions and austere rural life in her native Russia to the creative abundance and technical innovation of her adopted American homeland. Raised in a Ural Mountains village, Zaritza was a government-sponsored classical pianist throughout her youth. She began writing pop songs as a teenager, recording and performing them while attending university. • • Tracing the footsteps of her idol, the great Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff, Zaritza emigrated to New York and Monmouth County (a summer retreat for Rachmaninoff) to focus on her original music. • This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
