Anthony Romaniuk

Keyboardist Anthony Romaniuk’s singular artistic voice stems from his
relentless exploration of a vast range of musical styles.
A natural musical polyglot, his classical training is complemented by his
improvising prowess, allowing him to fluidly traverse the borders between
genres.
Jazz-obsessed in his youth in Australia, he studied classical piano in New
York (Manhattan School of Music), spent several years specialising in
early music (harpsichord and fortepiano in the Netherlands) and since then
has continued his development across the realms of improvisation, indie
rock and ambient/electronic music.
As a classical recitalist, his repertoire includes music from Byrd to Bach,
Beethoven, Chopin and Brahms (often on historical instruments), to Ligeti,
Adams and contemporary music. He works regularly with violinist Patricia
Kopatchinskaja and tenor Reinoud Van Mechelen and is also a core
member of Vox Luminis. Other noteworthy collaborations include working
with clarinettist Reto Bieri, the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Camerata
Bern and Danish indie rock group Efterklang.
He has played at many important concert venues in Europe, including
Wigmore Hall (London), Salle Gaveau (Paris), Concertgebouw
Amsterdam, Berliner Konzerthaus, Flagey (Brussels) and at the Thüringer
Bachwochen, as well as frequent engagements in the US, Australia and
Japan.
His two solo albums on Alpha Classics consciously push the boundaries of
classical orthodoxy through their blend of innovative programming,
timbral diversity and improvisation. “Perpetuum”, released in February
2023, features no fewer than six keyboard instruments colouring a
programme based around the timelessness of perpetual motion. “Bells”,
his debut solo recording, was released in 2020 to widespread acclaim.
He is represented worldwide by Rayfield Allied.
