“Poetic Perfection” was how Victor Sangiorgio’s London debut was hailed by The Times. Similar critical and public acclaim has continued to greet both his public performances and recordings. Magazines such as Gramophone and BBC Music Magazine have used words like ‘irresistible,’ ‘truly outstanding,’ 'rhythm and wit,' 'delicacy,' and ‘superbly colourful’ to describe his playing in his varied and eclectic discography.

Born in Sicily, Victor and his family moved to Perth, Western Australia at the age of four. He began his musical education on the piano-accordion. He gave his first public performances at the age of five and by 19 had been a piano soloist with all the major Australian orchestras as well as having recorded and broadcast extensively for both ABC National Radio and Television. Whilst still a student, he was soloist with the Australian Youth Orchestra on their 13-concert tour of Mainland China and Hong Kong. After winning Australia’s most prestigious musical awards, he studied and worked abroad in Siena, Rome and Tanglewood in the USA before moving to England where he currently resides.

Victor enjoys a busy and varied career as a soloist, chamber musician and teacher. He has broadcast for the BBC World Service, Radio 3, Radio 4 and Classic FM and has performed throughout England, Scotland, Ireland, Europe, Africa, Asia, New Zealand and America.

He has collaborated with such eminent conductors as Claudio Abbado, Morton Gould, Sir Charles Groves, Andrew Litton, Jane Glover, En Shou, Martin Yates, Stanislaw Skrowacewzski, Andre Previn, Jorge Mester and Carl Davis.
