First Prize winner of the International Competition held at the Niccolo Paganini Academy of Music in Genoa, Italy, the Romanian violinist Tudor Andrei is rapidly gaining a reputation as yet another bright talent emerging from Romania. He has been a winner of the Violin Romanian Olympics in two editions, as well as gaining many other national awards.
Born in Barlad, Tudor benefited from early musical training given by his parents, both musicians. He soon moved to Bucharest, where he graduated from the George Enescu High School. A year later, he was awarded a place to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London, under the guidance of Professor Remus Azoitei.Tudor has already performed a large number of concerts in important halls in Romania. In 1999 he toured Switzerland and Italy, and in 2005 Germany. He was invited to appear on various TV and Radio shows in Romania, including TVR1, the Romanian equivalent of the BBC 1 TV Channel, as well as an in depth interview on “Musicians of today, musicians of tomorrow”, on Romanian Radio Cultural Channel.

Tudor is supported by both the Ratiu Family Foundation UK, as well as the Romanian Cultural Institute in London.

First-prize winner of the Nikolai Rubinstein International Competition in Paris, the Russian pianist Peter Limonov began studying the piano in 1991, when he entered the prestigious Central Music School in Moscow, his teachers being Siyavoush Gadjiev and, later, Andrei Pisarev.

After graduating with the highest marks, in 2003 he came to London and became a student of the Royal Academy of Music, working under the guidance of Professor Hamish Milne and Alexander Satz on a full scholarship. At the Royal Academy, he has participated in master classes given by Leslie Howard, Stephen Hough, Ian Fountain, Bernard D'Ascoli and Daniel-Ben Pienaar. He has also benefited from the guidance of Stephen Kovacevic under full scholarship at the 2004 Dartington Summer School. Peter maintains an extensive repertoire, from Bach, Beethoven and Chopin, to Scriabin, Kapustin and Godowsky.
