"A pianist of real personality, his name is one to remember."
Le Monde de la Musique

"Spirited and yet very carefully distilled playing."
International Record Review

"Fidelity to what the score says is impeccable."
Classical Music Magazine

Recently praised by the New Yorker as an "adventurous pianist" who "likes his music on the brainy side," Ivan Ilic is rapidly gaining a strong international reputation. A disciple of the legendary François-René Duchâble, Ivan has earned support from the American Foundation in Paris, the Karic Foundation in Belgrade, the University of Illinois, and the Nadia Boulanger Foundation in Paris. He recently completed a one-year residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts.

Ivan started music studies at age 6 and gave his recital debut at 11. He took degrees in music and mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley before moving to Paris on a fellowship from the University. Shortly afterwards Ivan was admitted to the esteemed Conservatoire Supérieur de Paris, where he took a Premier Prix in piano performance. The City of Paris sponsored his first recording.

60 engagements in 2007 included recital débuts in Boston, Washington, Dublin, Bristol, Glasgow, and Cardiff. Current season highlights include recitals at Carnegie Hall (New York), Wigmore Hall (London), the National Concert Hall (Dublin), the Belgrade Philharmonic, and the Glenn Gould Studio (Toronto).

Ivan's first CD of music by Claude Debussy, lauded as "masterly" by Gramophone Magazine, recently received Mezzo Television's prestigious M Award in France. The disc is broadcast on BBC Radio 3, Radio 4 Holland, Radio France, Public Radio in America, as well as major classical music stations in Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Estonia, Ireland, the Czech Republic, New Zealand, Australia, Argentina, and South Africa.
