Victor Romanul has been playing the violin since the age of seven. His first teacher was Alfred Krips, the former Associate Concertmaster of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He subsequently studied with Ivan Galamian, Joseph Silverstein, and Jascha Heifetz. At the age of twenty-one, after finishing his training with Heifetz, Victor became Associate Concertmaster of the Pittsburgh Symphony, where he remained for six years. He served as Concertmaster of the Eastern Music Festival, the Peninsula Music Festival in Wisconsin, and the Ars Poetica Orchestra in Detroit, comprised of musicians selected from major orchestras in the U.S. Beginning at the age of thirteen, he performed sixteen times as soloist with the BSO and the Boston Pops. Victor has a repertoire of hundreds of concertos and other works. He has performed all over the world, including hundreds of times as an orchestral soloist. His special interest is in beautiful and virtuoso works and he currently devotes his time exclusively as a soloist. While in the BSO he gave the annual Tanglewood masterclasses of the Paganini Caprices and the Ysyae Sonatas. John Williams wrote a fourteen-minute work, Duo Concertante for him and a colleague, which they worked with Mr. Williams on, premiered, and recorded. Victor was one of two soloists listed in the Best of Boston under the category of Soloist with Orchestra for his performance of the Saint-Saens Concerto No. 3 with the Civic Symphony. In recent years, Victor has given multiple performances of the concerti of Glazunov, Beethoven, Bach (Oboe) Double, Brahms Double, Paganini, Chausson (with the Colorado Quartet), Mendelssohn, Mozart’s Symphonie Concertante, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven’s Triple Concerto, Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2, Bruch’s Double Concerto, Sibelius, Vivaldi’s, The Four Seasons, and José White Lafitte’s Violin Concerto, among many others. Victor also performed the Schindler’s List theme as soloist on the Nightingale Stradivarius, under the baton of John Williams. During the COVID pandemic, Victor performed many solo streams at the direction of the BSO from the stages of Symphony Hall in Boston and from Tanglewood. On these streams Victor performed the works of Paganini, Sauret, Korngold, and the Bach Chaconne.  Last season, in addition to many performances as soloist and recitalist, Victor recorded Paganini’s Le Streghe for a production at the Munich National Opera, and appeared solo, live, and streaming for WGBH-TV in their Holiday Spectacular. In 2016, Victor wrote an article for Strings Magazine about the story of his career, and in 2019, MEL Magazine featured him as one of ten performers from around the world whose performances inspire audiences to appreciate classical music.
