A beneficiary of numerous international scholarships and awards, Dinu-Mihai Stefan is very much in demand as a concert soloist, recitalist, chamber musician and tutor. Born in Bucharest, Romania in 1988 he graduated with a Masters of Music in Piano Performance at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance where he studied under Alexander Ardakov. In 2011 Dinu-Mihai obtained a BMus (Hons) in Piano Performance at the Royal College of Music, where he studied with Gordon Fergus-Thompson & Niel Immelman and in 2007 he graduated from the Dinu Lipatti Music High-School in Bucharest.
Dinu-Mihai was a student of the prestigious Mozarteum Summer Academy in Salzburg where he received guidance from Frank Wibaut, Aquilles Delle-Vigne, Robert Levin and Ya-Fei Chuang. He also worked in master classes held in the UK and France with Peter Donohoe, Philip Martin, David Quigley, Victor Sangiorgio, Robert Markham, John Lill, Vladimir Krainev and Pascal Nemirovski.
Dinu-Mihai is a laureate of national and international competitions, and obtained 3rd prize in the Hastings Piano Concerto Competition 2010. He appeared on National TV on several occasions including the National Final Gala of Eurovision Young Musicians Bucharest 2006 and the G. Enescu Festival.
Dinu-Mihai regularly performs on platforms in Romania, Austria, France and in the UK, which include solo recital appearances at the prestigious Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest and at the Bluthner Piano Centre in London.
He had his orchestral debut in 2005 with the Mihail Jora Philharmonic in Bacau, Romania under Leonard Boga. Since then he has performed concertos twice with Chamber Orchestra of the National Music University in Bucharest, twice with the Paul Constantinescu Philharmonic in Ploiesti, with the Sussex Concert Orchestra in Hastings, with the Pitesti Philharmonic and the National Radio Chamber Orchestra in Bucharest under conductors Ovidiu Balan, Radu Postavaru, Dorel Pascu-Radulescu, Ramiro Arizo, Kenneth Roberts and Cristian Brancusi.
In May 2014, Dinu-Mihai released his debut commercial album on all the major digital stores and music streaming services around the world, Just Another Spring in London, which includes recorded piano music of composers such as Bach, Liszt, Scriabin and Enescu. Since then he has released his album Made in Trinity, which encompasses the music of Beethoven and Rachmaninov.
Undoubtedly, Dinu-Mihai's public is never left emotionally detached from the music but it is swept up in the passion, intensity and sensitivity of his playing which takes them on a journey from the most intimate and tender senses to the dramatic pinnacles of life's greatest moments. All encounters with him are virtuoso performances that always leave the listener affectionately satisfied yet still awaiting more.
Dinu-Mihai would like to express his most sincere gratitude to benefactors whose generous assistance has been invaluable throughout his career.
