When he was only 17 years
old, he began playing in large and small orchestras, earning his
bread and butter at concerts, parties, even weddings,working
both day and night.
Between 1981 and 1990 he won many national prizes for being the
best young panpipe player in Romania.
He performed at festivals and in concerts, not only in his own
country but in many other parts of Europe as well, becoming a
music director and conductor in 1988.
After the Romanian revolution in 1989, Ovidiu found a new love
"evergreen" music, and began to develop an extensive repertoire
of new adult contemporary music - a combination of pop, world
and New Age - with his panpipe.
In short, Ovidiu is a panpipe virtuoso, a music arranger, singer
and keyboard player and, not least, a charismatic person.
