Ivan Ilić

Ivan Ilić is a Serbian-American pianist known for his innovative and exploratory approach to classical music. He's made a name for himself by championing lesser-known composers and works, particularly those of Anton Reicha, a contemporary of Beethoven. Ilić has released several albums focusing on Reicha's compositions, helping to bring renewed attention to this overlooked composer.

Beyond his work with Reicha, Ilić has also tackled challenging piano repertoire like Godowsky's studies on Chopin's etudes, and he's known for his interpretations of composers ranging from Haydn to more modern, transcendental works. His performances and recordings have earned him acclaim for their thoughtful, precise, and often unconventional interpretations of both familiar and obscure classical pieces.
