Andrei Irimia is the leading composer and pianist in Romania’s contemporary neoclassical scene, shaping a distinctive artistic identity at the crossroads of classical tradition and modern electronic textures.

By weaving minimalist piano with nuanced digital accents and haunting string arrangements, he creates deeply introspective compositions that have earned him a strong international presence across prestigious European stages.

His debut solo album, Nuit Minimaliste (2019), paid tribute to French minimalist piano traditions, while his second album, All Strings Attached (2022), marked a significant artistic evolution, expanding his sonic language through richer textures and interdisciplinary influences.

A defining aspect of Andrei Irimia’s artistic practice is the development of immersive, interdisciplinary performance formats. Moving beyond conventional concert models, he has created productions that integrate live piano and strings with theatrical storytelling, spoken word, lighting design and visual elements. These formats have been presented in concert halls, theatres and festivals across Europe, leading to consistent audience growth, sold-out performances and recognition.

One of his most emblematic projects, Lights & Shadows, exists both as a live performance format and as a newly released studio album. Lights & Shadows, Andrei Irimia’s latest album, has been launched internationally, marking a moment of artistic maturity and consolidating his international presence.

In Lights and Shadows, Andrei Irimia pushes neoclassical boundaries into a visceral, highly atmospheric realm. Bridging minimalist piano frameworks and sweeping string arrangements with expansive ambient textures, the music surges into explosive crescendos, delivering a high-end live performance.

In 2025, Andrei Irimia also expanded his work in the field of theatre, composing the original stage music for Regina Mamă, a theatre production that premiered at the National Theatre Bucharest.

In 2026, his international touring momentum scales new heights with confirmed concerts at some of Europe’s most prestigious and culturally significant institutions. This landmark year includes high-profile performances at the legendary Berliner Philharmonie, the historic Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest, and a highly anticipated return to the Palau de la Música Catalana, further consolidating his position as a commanding voice within the European contemporary and neoclassical landscape.
