biography
Described by Romanian critics on national radio as "an exceptional pianist with a refined sound", Anelise is rapidly earning recognition as a distinctive voice among the new generation of pianists. A scholarship undergraduate at the Royal Academy of Music in London, where she studies with celebrated pianist Florian Mitrea, Anelise has demonstrated an artistic maturity that exceeds her age. Beginning her musical journey at the age of three, she has received numerous distinctions, including the Grand Prize at the "Ina Macarie" International Competition at just 13. More recently, her artistry was recognized with Second Prize at the Orbetello International Piano Competition in Italy and Third Prize at the Constanta International Competition in Romania.
In 2022, Anelise made her solo recital debut at the renowned Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest, delivering a performance that left a lasting impression, and which was broadcasted on Classic FM Romania. Since then, she has brought her voice to esteemed venues across Europe, including Cadogan Hall (UK), St. Cuthbert’s Church (UK), Arcub Hall (Romania), Théâtre Municipal (France), and Duke’s Hall at the Royal Academy of Music (UK).
Anelise’s musical pursuits extend far beyond the solo stage. She thrives in collaborative settings, exploring a wide repertoire of chamber works, from Mozart and Beethoven quintets to the poignant trios of Rachmaninoff and Brahms. Her partnerships with singers and her work spread across a wide range of styles, from Baroque to late Romantic, are revealing her exceptional versatility. She is also an advocate for contemporary music, having contributed to the premieres of new works and projects that highlight emerging composers.
Her creative versatility is further evident in her work with film music improvisation under the guidance of distinguished composer Neil Brand. These projects, culminating in performances at the Royal Academy’s Summer Piano Festival, demonstrate her ability to merge spontaneity with deep musical understanding.
Anelise’s development as an artist has further been shaped by masterclasses with esteemed musicians, including Joanna MacGregor CBE, Tatiana Sarkissova, Tessa Nicholson, Aaron Shorr, Fali Pavri, and Petras Geniušas.
