Daniils Cirics (b. 2002) is a Latvian violinist based in the Netherlands, specializing in solo and chamber performance. He currently studies at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam under Mathieu van Bellen, Shunske Sato, and Sayuri Yamagata, alongside studies at the Davidsbündler Academy with Daniel Rowland.
Daniils began his education at the Emīls Dārziņš Music School in Riga and graduated from the Gnessin College of Music in Moscow under Alexey Lundin in 2021. In 2022, he left the Moscow State Conservatory due to the Russian aggression against Ukraine to continue his career in Amsterdam.
A top prizewinner at the Saulius Sondeckis and Valsts competitions, Daniils has performed as a soloist and orchestral player since age 13 with ensembles like the LNSO and Moscow Virtuosi. His performances span venues such as the Concertgebouw and Muziekgebouw. He plays a Bas Maas violin with a Nicolas Maire bow, generously on loan from the Dutch Musical Instruments Foundation (NMF).
