Remus Azoitei
Described in The Strad as "an uninhibited virtuoso, with soul and fabulous technique", the Romanian-born violinist Remus Azoitei graduated from the Juilliard School in New York in 2001, and has since been a featured soloist of prestigious European ensembles including the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre National de Belgique and Deutsche Kammer Orchester. He has performed concertos under conductors such as Lawrence Foster, Dimitri Kitaenko, Michael Sanderling, and Gabriel Chmura.
In 2001, Remus Azoitei was appointed violin professor at the Royal Academy of Music in London, becoming the youngest ever violin professor in the history of this institution. He is the Artistic Director of the Enescu Society in London, also being one of its founding members. He lives in London, and performs on a violin made by Niccolo Gagliano in 1735, from the Royal Academy of Music's collection.

Remus Azoitei❖ "Azoitei has all the requirements: marked sensitivity, a sweetness of tone (but not over-succulence), an impressive emotional and dynamic range" The Strad , May 2007
❖ "It often seemed as if Azoitei was exploring every facet of tone that could be drawn from the Academy's Maurin Stradivari, as he ranged across the strings with fire and accuracy. It was exciting but always within the bounds of concert-hall good manners." The Strad, December 2008
❖ "Violinist Remus Azoitei identifies completely with the music. He surmounts the music's technical challenges with such ease you forget they are there and focus on the music's eloquent magic" Classical Source , May 2009

Romanian Philharmonic “George Enescu” Orchestra

❖ When the Palace of the Romanian Athenaeum was inaugurated, on the 5th of March 1889, concerts began to be held in this hall and the Romanian Athenaeum became the headquarters of the Philharmonic and at the same time a symbol of Bucharest.
