Anita Pari, pianist

Winner of the Young Artist Competition
held in Mississauga July 2011

 

 


Thirteen-year-old Anita Pari has charmed audiences with her beautiful interpretations of the piano repertoire. In 2009, she placed first at the Canadian Music Competition and at the ORMTA provincials (student instrumental). In 2010, she completed with distinction the Performers' Diploma of the Royal Conservatory of Music, receiving a gold medal for maintaining the highest average mark in theory exams. This year, she placed third at the Virginia Waring International Piano Competition where she performed Shostakovich's F Major Concerto with orchestra. Most recently she participated in the Young Artist Program of the National Arts Centre as the only young pianist selected in the pre-college program and was invited twice to perform in Ottawa's classical music festival Music and Beyond. She is very excited to have been selected this year's ORMTA Provincial Young Artist.

Anita studies piano with Andrew Tunis of the University of Ottawa. She also studies cello with Anne Contant of the Conservatoire de musique de Gatineau and composes, having distinguished herself in both disciplines at the national level. Her first chamber music composition "Nocturne for Strings" was performed last year at Ottawa's Chamberfest by the Cecilia String Quartet.
