Ivan Vihor

Winner of Italy's Premio delle Arti.

Critical Praise

“Ivan Vihor is an artist with great temperament and musical charm, and possesses a beautiful and profound sound and sonority.”

Vladimir Krpan — Legendary Croatian pianist & pedagogue

“His interpretation is characterized by transparency and discrete ornamentation. Vihor plays very sensitively, without affectation, but with considerable differentiation and intelligence.”

About

At the age of twenty, Ivan Vihor won "Premio delle Arti," Italy's most prestigious piano competition, becoming the first non-Italian pianist to achieve this distinction. That same year, he also won multiple Croatian national competitions.

His international career has since taken him across Europe and the United States, with performances at major festivals and concert halls. He has collaborated with renowned international conductors and orchestras, establishing himself as one of the most promising pianists of his generation.

Ivan Vihor has recorded for Croatian Radio Television (HRT) and released albums on the MC Harmony and Vox Primus labels. His recordings include works by Schumann, Beethoven, Liszt, and other composers.

He holds faculty positions at conservatories in Bergamo and Rimini, Italy, where he continues to develop the next generation of pianists alongside his active performing career.
