Dana Ciocarlie

Trained in Romania, Dana Ciocarlie is a true heir to the Romanian school of piano. She furthered her studies in Paris under Victoria Melki, Dominique Merlet and Georges Pludermacher. Her encounter with German pianist Christian Zacharias was decisive in helping her deepen her approach to Franz Schubert’s piano works. 

Many prestigious international prizes testify to her talent: a Second Grand Prize at the International Robert Schumann Contest in Zwickau, the Sándor Végh Special Prize at the Geza Anda International Competition in Zurich, the International Pro Musicis prize, the Young Concert Artist European Auditions in Leipzig and the Ferrucio Busoni Competition.
