Originally encouraged to take up the piano, a lack of free spaces in the class made Ghenadie Rotari become an accordionist, it ended up being a fortunate twist of fate. The Moldavian-born musician has a passion for the new in music, but equally enjoys diving into early, baroque, jazz and tango repertoire. His concert engagements took him to stages and festivals on three different continents, including debuts at the Berliner Philharmonie and Carnegie Hall in New York. Passionate about chamber music, Rotari performs regularly with ensembles and orchestras across Europe, bringing on stage the energy, passion and freshness with each performance, be it the music of today or written centuries ago. Recent interests took Ghenadie Rotari into the direction of exploring the fusion of the accordion’s sound with electronics and the use of the voice in performances.
