Described as an ‘energetic and agile violinist’ with ‘bold, passionate colours’ Ionel Manciu is quickly building a reputation as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestral leader.
Events
Ionel is a sought-after chamber musician, and as a founding member of the Mithras Trio he won the 10th Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition and 67th Royal Over-Seas League Competition. They are current Borletti-Buitoni Trust Artists, former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists, Kirckman Music Society Young Artists and members of the Countess of Munster Trust Recital Scheme.
Ionel’s great passion and love for orchestral repertoire has garnered attention from top orchestras and conductors, which led to him being appointed First Concertmaster of the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra. Moreover, he regularly collaborates as Guest-Concertmaster all around the world.
He plays on a G.B. Guadagnini violin, (Parma ± 1764), owned by The VandenBroek Foundation, and a bow by J.P.M. Persoit (Paris ± 1850) both generously loaned by The Netherlands Musical Instrument Foundation.
