"...an incredibly talented and entertaining artist..."

THE EVENING STAR
gets to shine in ROMANIA too!

IOANA ILIE - LUCEAFARUL.jpg

I am overjoyed to announce that my composition 

 

THE EVENING STAR

 

will be performed in Timișoara, Romania on January 15 2027!

 

​
As a Romanian, having put the most famous Romanian poem into music, this is the highest satisfaction and recognition one can wish for!
The honour continues even further though, as January 15th is not just any date, but the official Romanian Day of Culture AND the birthday of our national poet! 

I am deeply grateful to the "Banatul" Philharmonic House for making the Romanian premiere of this composition possible! I can hardly wait to listen to the amazing soloists, choir singers and orchestra musicians performing this work so important to me. Feel free to click on the link below for more information about the address and exact time.

IMPROVISATION COURSE

Ever thought of creating your own music but didn't know where to start?

​

This course will not only improve your playing technique, but it will also make you understand music in all its depth as well as listen to and approach a music piece in a totally different way. Your sense of harmony will develop without you consciously realising it, making you highly intuitive musically. Composing a piece of music will seem way easier and, since you will be able to master any unexpected situations, this will bring you highly envied security while performing on stage.

​

Available in 3 levels, this course offers you a stunning total of 60 video lessons of improvisation with or without a form (like the Sonata or the Minuet) AND
it also comes with a free Workbook to accompany each of the lessons:
In it you will find lots of other examples on every topic, more ideas, tips, and a great deal of bonus material.

Most importantly: you don't need to have graduated in music in order to keep up with this course! All you need is some basic piano playing and music reading skills!


You want to make sure this is the right thing for you? 
Type in your e-mail address and you'll get 6 lessons from the entire course FOR FREE!

CHALLENGE ME:
BEETHOVEN FANTASIA


I was challenged to improvise on Beethoven's "Arietta" from the Piano Sonata Op. 111. This is the very last piano sonata Beethoven wrote and it consists of only two movements which couldn't be more contrasting: The first one is dissonant, tumultous and nearly dystopian, while the second movement feels like a cathartic aftermath of the destruction caused by the first.
I decided to improvise a Fantasia on this theme, that is a very free piece of music without a fixed form.

I would love to hear your thoughts on it!
