Virtuoso Romanian Pianist, Viniciu Moroianu, joins us from Bucharest for a performance of Bach's astonishing Goldberg Variations and Silvestri's Suite No.1 "Copii la joaca", Op.3.

Pianist and teacher, a true keyboard virtuoso and an accomplished interpreter of Enescu and Lipatti's works for this instrument, Viniciu Moroianu was born in 1962 in Bucharest and graduated from the "Ciprian Porumbescu" Conservatory in Bucharest where he benefited from the guidance of professor Gabriela Almiras.

Giving his first recital at just 10 years old and debuting as a soloist with an orchestra at 14, Viniciu Moroianu also distinguished himself in competitions where he won important prizes such as first prizes at the international competitions in Paris and Bucharest, trophies that shaped his career during which he gave over 700 recitals, chamber and symphonic concerts.

Viniciu Moroianu has collaborated with great Romanian conductors such as Horia Andreescu or Cristian Mandeal, alongside important Philharmonic orchestras in the country, starting with the Bucharest Philharmonic with which he has also toured both domestically and abroad, and together with soloists such as violinist Cristina Anghelescu, cellist Dan Cavassi, soprano Leontina Vaduva or baritone Eduard Tumagian.

Having also made numerous recordings for radio and television, Viniciu Moroianu, possessor of a vast repertoire, also has other concerns in the sphere of the local musical world, being a founding member of the Romanian “Mozart” Society, and a professor at the National University of Music in Bucharest.

Viniciu Moroianu is the husband of violinist Mioara Moroianu.
