Daniel Kobialka, world-renowned violinist & composer, holds a unique place in the world of music. Daniel’s compositions and interpretations embrace both the classic and the avant-garde in a search to create sounds that enliven and heal.

From his beginnings as a child prodigy, Kobialka went on in the following decades to challenge the music industry’s perceptions that the violin is not a marketable instrument.

Strong in his belief that his beloved violin could be the most eloquent and evocative of instruments, Kobialka founded his own record label in order to freely pursue his own interpretations of the classics, as well as his profound interest in more avant-garde music. LiSem Enterprises Inc. has sold millions of CDs since its inception in 1981.

Kobialka’s music has formed the core of a series of studies linking sound with CAM, complementary and alternative medicine for health and healing. At the center of Kobialka’s focus is the rejuvenating power of music. He has led didactic and interactive workshops and seminars, traveled the world bringing his violin virtuosity to hospitals from Beijing, China to Plainville, Ohio, and recorded music for meditation and guidance with alternative healing pioneers including Dr. Joan Borysenko and Dr. Bernie Siegel.
