A faithful performer of the masterworks of the past, Maistorovici is known for combining traditional repertoire with innovation at major venues and festivals, such as South Bank Centre, Musiekgebouw Amsterdam, Salle Flagey Bruxelles, Studio Ernest Ansermet Geneva, Festival d'Aix-en-Provence, Romanian Athenaeum Bucharest, Great Hall of the St. Petersburg Conservatoire, Kaufman Centre New York, Verbier Festival, Spoleto Festival, Enescu Festival. He has worked with orchestras such as the London Symphony Orchestra, European Union Chamber Orchestra, Orchestre des Jeunes de la Méditerranée, Campos do Jordao Festival Orchestra, New European Ensemble of The Hague, Young European Strings Camerata Bruxelles, Sinfonia Cymru Cardiff, Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, Nouvel Opéra Fribourg, Estonian Sinfonietta, Bucharest Radio Orchestra. He appears as composer, conductor or as soloist under the baton of conductors such as Neil Thomson, Clement Power, Jonathan Berman, Jonathan Bloxham, Michael Wendeberg, Thierry Fischer, Gottfried Rabl, Baldur Brönnimann, Gabriel Bebeșelea, Radu Paponiu, and many others. Maistorovici’s performances emanate “technical assuredness balanced by interpretive willingness to push boundaries that can, and often does, make sparks fly” (Seen and Heard International), and his conducting “ensures coherence, dramatic tension, and a clear reading of a complex musical language” (Sonograma). He has inspired, in collaboration with orchestras or as part of the London-based Mercury Quartet, over 20 new works by composers such as Mark Anthony Turnage, Jonathan Cole, Mark Simpson, Steven Daverson, Charlotte Bray, Edmund Finnis, Laurent Durupt, Diana Rotaru, Dan Dediu. With the same ensemble he has explored contemporary music improvisation on Mercury Acoustic, an album produced by Gabriel Prokofiev on the Nonclassical label. His love for the music of rock band Queen has led him into the crossover genre with QUEENClassics, where “As bandleader, Maistorovici cuts a kind of Stephane-Grappelli meets-Brian-May figure” directing “classic songs, superbly arranged by Maistorovici” (Wales Arts Review). “Catchy and sonorous” (Musical America), featuring “vivid contrasts” (Financial Times) and “clarity of expression” (AM Bucharest), his compositions are published by Universal Edition and championed by world-class ensembles and artists: from the “wonderful swirl of sounds” (The Classical Reviewer) of Halo (commissioned by the London Symphony Orchestra and recorded on LSO Live), to the rhapsodic Concert Transilvan (premiered by Dmitry Sitkovetsky at Enescu Festival) or the “soul-filled creations that added just the right amount of 21st-century flavoured spice” (Bachtrack) of Carols Without Words, Maistorovici “strikes a different note” (The Daily Telegraph). In 2019, Maistorovici performed the Dutch premiere of Concert Transilvan and directed the Enescu Octet for chamber orchestra with the Young European Strings Camerata at the Diligentia Theatre Den Haag, on the occasion of the Romanian Presidency to the EU Council. In 2023 Maistorovici created and conducted “Metamorfose after M.C.Escher“ at the Tuinzaal of the Kunstmuseum Den Haag with the New European Ensemble and motion-reactive video projections, as part of the 125th anniversary exhibition of M.C. Escher, reuniting the music of Bach, Webern, Pärt and Maistorovici in “a musical/visual spectacle par excellence”, “a brilliant concept, brilliantly executed”, “a really enjoyable concert” (ArtsTalk Magazine). In 2024 he composed B.A.C.H., Passacaglia for solo violin, commissioned by the Enescu Festival as the mandatory work at the Enescu International Violin Competition. Born in Romania in 1985, he is a former pupil of The Yehudi Menuhin School from the violin class of Natalia Boyarskaya and Lutsia Ibragimova. At the Royal College of Music in London he studied violin with Felix Andrievsky, composition with Mark-Anthony Turnage, Jonathan Cole and Richard Causton, conducting with Patrick Bailey, and later violin with Pierre Amoyal on a Soloist Master degree at the Haute École de Musique Lausanne. He deepened his understanding of chamber music with Bruno Canino at Fiesole Music School Florence and has had influential masterclasses with Boris Kuschnir, Anna Chumachenko, Gordan Nikolich, Ivry Gitlis, Ida Haendel, Zakhar Bronn, Ferenc Rados, Gábor Takács-Nagy, Lera Auerbach at courses such as Verbier Academy, Keshet Eilon and others. He advanced his composition studies with Oliver Knussen, Colin Matthews and Magnus Lindberg in Aldeburgh, Giaccomo Manzoni in Florence and Dan Dediu in Bucharest as a PHD in Music. In 2025 he was awarded the Romanian Academy Award, and in 2026 he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
