Andrei S. Bostan, Violin
Andrei S. Bostan began studying violin at the age of seven and obtained
his Diploma of License in Violin Performance from the Cluj-Napoca
Conservatory of Music of the Academy of Romania. After Graduating from
the Conservatory, Andrei's exceptional musical ability secured him a
first violin section position with the State Opera of Cluj-Napoca
(1972-1976). During this period, Andrei also played and recorded with
several jazz groups on both guitar and violin. Andrei is a highly
professional classical violinist with the unusual combination of
abilities in both the classical as well as the improvisational (jazz)
arenas.
Since his arrival in the United States, Andrei has performed with
numerous musical organizations, including the Monterey County Symphony,
Oregon Festival Orchestra, Santa Cruz Symphony, West Bay Opera, Black
Tie Jazz Orchestra, Arioso String Quartet, and Caffezino Jazz Quintet.
Andrei's rich and diverse musical background is a major asset to our
string groups and, when requested to do so, we enjoy showcasing some of
his extraordinary improvisational abilities.
