We are thrilled to introduce the first pianist in ad21’s "Woman Muse" series, Susanne Darre, a Norwegian composer of modern classical music. She records from a rustic barn-turned-studio, surrounded by the Arctic sea, mountains, and the Northern Lights, which deeply inspire her music. Susanne brings tender and expressive tones to life on her vintage Schimmel upright piano, rich with resonance.  
There’s something unique about a steady, confident woman. A woman who dares to be herself and stands up for what she believes in. Strong, soft, and humble—a reflection of the beauty of her life experiences, her warmth, and empathy. Like a steady harbor, an anchor. Simply “Irreplaceable.”

Woman Muse

Irreplaceable

In 1998, pianist and composer Bruno Sanfilippo, along with his wife Ximena Contreras, established their own record label, ad21, as a haven for their creative expression. Since then, ad21 has released over 30 solo and collaborative albums in digital and physical formats, solidifying its position as a cornerstone of the neoclassical music scene.
In 2024, ad21 embarked on an ambitious new venture by opening its doors to pianists worldwide, broadening its platform and artistic outreach. Collaborating with Javier Guglielmi, ad21 aims to foster a record label specializing in neoclassical music, with a particular focus on solo piano performances.
Their vision for ad21 is to create a nurturing environment where artists can discover a supportive community and access the resources necessary to maximize their musical potential. 

Stay tuned for upcoming big news. Demos are welcome.
