Andrei Ionita

Cellist Andrei Ioniță won several of classical music's most coveted competition prizes in the 2010s. In addition to an international career as a soloist, he also maintains a variety of collaborations as a chamber music player. The crown in Ioniță's competition career was a first prize in the cello division of the 2015 International Tchaikovsky Competition in Russia. That opened up recording opportunities for Ioniță, and in 2017, he recorded the clarinet sonatas and clarinet trio of Brahms with clarinetist Pablo Barragán and pianist Juan Pérez Floristán. That year, Ioniță made his soloist debut with the Rococo Variations of Tchaikovsky with the Münchener Philharmoniker. Ioniță has been very active as a recitalist, concerto soloist, and chamber music performer. In 2024, he joined violinist Suyeon Kang, violist Karolina Errera, and pianist Catalin Serban on an album of piano quartets by Fauré and George Enescu.
