“Throughout his musical path Andreas has maintained the highest artistic standards. He is an outstanding pianist” – Menahem Pressler

 

Cypriot pianist ANDREAS IOANNIDES seeks to share his passion for great music and music-making through a multifaceted career dedicated to performance, interpretation, and teaching of the piano.

He has made concert appearances throughout Europe, Asia, North and South America. Highlights include performances at Boston Symphony Hall, the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., the Berlin Konzerthaus, the Seoul Arts Center, the Temppeliaukio Kirkko in Helsinki and the Municipal Theater of Rio de Janeiro.   As soloist he has performed under such maestros as Neil Varon, David Effron, Paul Nadler and Roberto Tibiriçá. A devoted chamber musician, he has collaborated with esteemed artists including John Sharp, Joseph Swensen, Atar Arad, Mark Kaplan, Peter Stumpf, the Fry Street Quartet, and composer PQ Phan.

Andreas has received enthusiastic reviews by the Boston Globe and his performances have been broadcast on television and radio across three continents. Having been a prize winner in the BNDES International Piano Competition in Rio de Janeiro and the Hastings International Piano Competition in the UK, he has more recently turned his attention to recording projects, including a 2-disc album released by NAXOS in 2020 in honor of the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth. 

Andreas is currently Lecturer of Piano and Chamber Music at the Technological University of Dublin and has previously served as Lecturer of Piano at Indiana State University, USA and at the Munster Technological University in Cork, Ireland.  He is also the founder and Artistic Director of ChamberFest Brown County, a chamber music festival that seeks to inspire audiences in rural Indiana with classical music performance and education of the highest caliber.
