The Romanian eminent pianist, Andreï Vieru, was born in a musical family: his father was the composer Anatol Maseru and his mother was a musicologist. Andrei Vieru had two main passions: music and mathematics, while during his adolescence period both painting and psychology attracted him. Finally, the field of music overcame. After graduating the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Bucharest, he attended musical lessons with Carlo Zecchi from Salzbourg and Lev Naoumov from Moscow.
