FEATURED

Anthony Romaniuk

Keyboardist Anthony Romaniuk’s unique artistic voice flows from his continuous 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.

Growing up in Australia as a jazz obsessive, he studied classical piano and contemporary music in New York (Manhattan School of Music). Later, he spent several years specialising in early music (harpsichord and fortepiano) in the Netherlands and, since then, has continued to evolve through the realms of improvisation and electronic music.
