During this period he won numerous prizes both in Romania and abroad, including First Prize in the National Youth Competition for Music. He is currently in his fourth undergraduate year at the Royal College of Music in London where he studies piano with Andrew Ball, composition with Huw Watkins and conducting with Patrick Bailey.
