Pianist, actress. She is a great Albanian artist, but in another field of art.
Zyrakja was born on December 15, 1964. At a young age, 6 years old, she began studying piano and graduated professionally at the age of 23 at the Academy of Arts in Tirana. Ermira has studied piano for more than 16 years and currently lives for more than 20 years in Geneva, where she alternates her professional activity with concerts, teaching and participation in many cultural activities of the Albanian community in Switzerland, while she has given concerts in USA, England, France, Ireland, Greece, Cyprus etc.
In 1987, she performed as an actress in the only film of Kinostudio “Shqiperia e Re” entitled “Come” in the role of a student, in a touching event, raised in the orphanage, where one day she had gone to doing the internship in a small town, she comes in contact with her real mother.
So Ermira Zyrakja is more of a well-known pianist than a movie actress. At the piano (with 2 pianists together) she produced and recorded the first CD with piano music titled “Our Music”.
