Event information
Please note that the concert starts at 4.30pm
Winner of the 60th Viotti Piano Competition in Vercelli, Italy, Stefan Ćirić was born in 1986 in Belgrade, Serbia, but spent his formative years in the UK. He studied at The Purcell School in London, and continued working with Sulamita Aronovsky at the Royal Academy of Music, completing his Master of Arts course in 2010.
Stefan’s previous achievements also include winning prizes in several International Piano Competitions in Gorzia, Italy and Jaén, Spain.
He has enjoyed a busy performing career from the age of 16 and has built a remarkable reputation as one of the foremost young pianists to emerge on the British music scene.
As described by International Piano magazine, his style of performance is one of “burnished perfection ....idiomatic and authoritative ....finding warmth and colour”, so that he is able to “build unexpected programmes, and his virtuosity is so assured that no one ever wonders if he can bring off the showpieces—one just enjoys them”.
Highlights of recent seasons were performances of Mozart Concerto K.488 at St. Martin-in-the-Fields; Mozart Concerto K.595 at Cadogan Hall with the London Soloists’ Orchestra. They also embraced a most impressive Canadian debut at the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto which was received with a standing ovation and a concert tour of China, attracting praise for the exceptional talent and accomplishment of Stefan Ćirić. Further engagements with the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra, Vienna Symphony Orchestra, and a debut with the London Philharmonic Orchestra were received with great critical acclaim.
