We are delighted to feature this hugely talented young pianist. Mihai Ritivoiu began piano lessons at 6. He graduated with the highest honours  for the National University of Music in Bucharest and subsequently obtained Master's and Artist Diploma degrees (Distinction) from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Mihai won the Dinu Lipatti National Competition in Bucharest in 2010 and was a laureate of a number of international competitions, such as the George Enescu International Piano Competition in Bucharest, 2011, Tunbridge Wells International Young Concert Artist Competition in 2014 and Teresa Llacuna International Competition, Valence, 2015.

'When it came to Chopin's Polonaise - Fantasy, Op. 61, Ritivoiu totally conveyed the dreaminess of this work, coupled with the excitement of the melodic and harmonic dance sections that Chopin is so passionately remembered for...' (Musical Opinion)
