Canadian guitarist Andrei Burdeti performs regularly in solo concerts throughout North America and Europe. Since 2014, he also performs in his own guitar and piano ensemble known as the Burdeti Duo.
Andrei’s formal musical studies began in Montreal at L’École de Musique Vincent D’Indy (DEC) and subsequently at the McGill Schulich School of Music. In 2010, he continued his training at the Johns Hopkins’ Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore where he studied with Ray Chester and Manuel Barrueco, earning his Doctor of Musical Arts in 2016.
His goal as a teacher is to ensure that his students will have the necessary tools to play guitar with ease, expression, and pleasure. From 2005 to 2010, he maintained a private guitar studio in Montreal, and taught in private music schools in the area. During his time at the Peabody Conservatory, he was Professor Ray Chester’s teaching assistant, leading guitar studio classes. Dr. Burdeti currently maintains a busy performing and teaching career based in Victoria, British Columbia. He is excited to join the Peninsula Academy in the fall of 2016.
