Misbakhova's dedication to her craft, along with her continuous exploration of the viola's expressive capabilities, makes her a pivotal figure in classical and contemporary classical music. Through her performances and recordings, she not only secures the viola's place in the modern classical music narrative but also paves the way for future generations of musicians.
