About

Born on May 7th, 1985 into a family of accomplished musicians – his grandfather was a renowned violinist and conductor who played for decades with the Romanian National Folkloric Ensemble and his father is a professional jazz saxophonist – Sorin grew surrounded by the sound of classical and contemporary music. Continuing in the family’s tradition, he studied multiple instruments, beginning at the age of seven with the violin and clarinet. At the young age of thirteen he won the National Music Olympics and two years later was featured as a soloist with the Romanian Philharmonic Orchestra “Mihail Jora”. In 2009 he graduated from the “George Enescu” University of Arts with a degree in classical clarinet. It was during those university years when he started to experiment and then fell completely in love with jazz. Beginning as an autodidact, his musical influences shifted to the work of Dizzy Gillespie, Keith Jarret, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Oscar Peterson, and Chick Corea. He found the piano as the sublime instrument to reflect his innermost feelings as a composer and orchestrator, and he perfected his technical virtuosity by earning in 2011 a Master in Music Degree from the Romanian National University of Music, the Piano Jazz Section. His style is a surprising fusion of jazz, Latin, pop and classical music, erupting into a colorful and fascinating repertoire.
