Pianist and composer Andrei Irimia creates profoundly introspective soundscapes that transcend traditional musical boundaries. His compositions are a delicate synergy between minimalist piano and the complexities of the human experience, inviting listeners to explore the depths within. His distinctive musical language evokes a spectrum of emotional states, from wistful melancholy and tender nostalgia to raw vulnerability and quiet revelation. Each composition unfolds as a journey, creating a sanctuary where time seems suspended and inner exploration becomes possible. 

Drawing inspiration from nature’s magical beauty and the kaleidoscope of human emotions, Andrei believes melancholy serves as the gateway to deeper self-knowledge, while childhood’s never-ending curiosity remains a constant wellspring of creativity.

His first solo album, “Nuit Minimaliste” (2019), pays tribute to French minimalist piano music. In 2022, he reached an important milestone with his second album, “All Strings Attached”. Currently, Andrei is working on his third album.

Andrei’s latest project, “Lights & Shadows”, represents his artistic vision: an immersive, hypnotic experience that explores the dualities of human existence through sound and light. The performance weaves together delicate piano motifs, subtle electronic textures, and string arrangements that both challenge and comfort the listener. His concerts offer rare moments of connection in our increasingly disconnected world, inviting audiences to rediscover music as a transformative force for emotional awareness and healing.

This year, Andrei embarks on a national tour in collaboration with actor Marius Manole, continuing their artistic partnership that began with “Pasărea fericirii” in 2021. This unique fusion of music and theatrical performance promises to create an extraordinary artistic experience.

For his 2025 European and national tour, Irimia collaborates with violinist Răzvan Păun and cellist Thibault Solorzano, creating a profound musical dialogue that elevates his compositions to new emotional heights. This unique trio will perform in September at some of Europe’s most prestigious venues: Berlin @ Heimathafen Neukölln, Brussels: Église Notre-Dame de Laeken, Paris @ La Scène Parisienne, Barcelona @ Petit Palau de la Música Catalana, Madrid @ Sala Villanos.

The beginning of 2024 saw remarkable success with sold-out concerts at various Romanian philharmonics, followed by acclaimed performances in London and Paris. His “Lights and Shadows” tour captivated European audiences throughout 2024, featuring prestigious venues including the Pygmalion Theatre in Vienna, Mythodia Conservatory on Paros, World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens in London, Scène Parisienne in Paris, Brussels’s Le Baixu, and Berlin’s Passionskirche. Andrei has graced major festivals including Jazz in The Park and Jazz Cave Festival (2023), JazzUP Sea Fest and Summerwell (2024). Notable collaborations include launching “Pasărea fericirii” with actor Marius Manole at the Gopo Gala (2021), opening the “Timișoara 2023” Gala with Joep Beving, and being the sole Romanian act at Sziget Festival 2023 and Eurosonic ESNS.

Since 2012, Andrei has been developing “Piano Collage”, blending piano music with cinematic imagery. He hosted “Ça c’est Classique” on art7.fm (2016-2018) and has served as an editor for the George Enescu Festival since 2015. His portfolio also includes numerous soundtracks for advertising, short films, and corporate projects.
