Canadian pianist and composer Serouj Kradjian has established himself as a versatile and innovative artist whose readiness to break boundaries and explore and merge different musical styles has made him an exciting voice on the international music scene. The New York Times has described the Grammy- nominated and two-time Juno-award-winning Kradjian’s playing as a “persuasive balance between elegance and spirit,” while the Frankfurter Allgemeine noted that he has “a fiery temperament and elegant sound” with “technique to burn.” Solo and chamber music concerts, have taken Kradjian to the stages of many major concert halls in North America, South America, Europe and Asia. As a busy composer and arranger he has been commissioned by artists and orchestras in Canada and abroad to create over 100 original works, most of which reflect his passion for music from the Middle East, Eastern Europe, the Iberian peninsula and South America. He recently had his theatre debut in Hell’s Fury, at Toronto’s Luminato Festival. Serouj Kradjian is the Artistic Director of Canada's renowned Amici Chamber Ensemble.
