## Biography and career

**Andrei Ivanovitch**, great-grandson of the [Romanian](/source/Romania) composer [Ion Ivanovici](/source/Ion_Ivanovici) ([The Waves of the Danube](/source/The_Waves_of_the_Danube)), studied at the Central Music School, at the [Leningrad Conservatory](/source/Leningrad_Conservatory), at the Music Academy in Moscow and at the [Musical College](/source/Musikhochschule_Karlsruhe) in [Karlsruhe](/source/Karlsruhe).[2] He won several prizes in international competitions, amongst others he won the gold medal at the World Piano Competition in [Cincinnati, Ohio](/source/Cincinnati,_Ohio), U.S.[3] The specialised press compares him to [Dinu Lipatti](/source/Dinu_Lipatti) and [Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli](/source/Arturo_Benedetti_Michelangeli)[1][citation needed]. Since 2003, he is honorary member of the Chopin Society. His numerous concerts in Europe earned him the reputation of being one of the great Interpreters of Russian piano music. During his Germany tours he always gave guest performances at Hummer's Culture Parlour[4] in [Soßmar](/source/So%C3%9Fmar) (whose owner, Gerhard Hummer, he's been friends with for several years), which made him a great following in this region. During his tour in 2007, he met the jazz pianist [Eyran Katsenelenbogen](/source/Eyran_Katsenelenbogen) in the Hummer's Culture Parlour[4] in [Soßmar](/source/So%C3%9Fmar), in order to create a new kind of piano concert.[5]
