Biography

Born in 1974 in Săliștea de Sus in the Maramureș region of Romania, Petru Iuga is one of the most accomplished classical double bassists of his generation — a fearless, soulful performer and masterful pedagogue known for his clear, resonant tone and uncompromisingly musical interpretations.

During his musical training in his homeland, the 20-year-old student came to the attention of Yehudi Menuhin and Alberto Lysy, who recruited him for the International Menuhin Music Academy in Gstaad (Switzerland). He continued his studies at the Hochschule der Künste in Bern and the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris.
