Biography

"His complete dedication to music is astonishing. He doesn't merely utilize his fingers and mind but engages his entire being in its service. It’s truly an extraordinary combination of virtuosity, imagination and thoughtfulness." Jan Niković is a Croatian pianist and a winner of many competitions. He often performs all over the world both in recitals and with renowned orchestras; most notably with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic under Maestro Domingo Hindoyan, and next to Lang Lang in Barcelona and at the Allianz Arena in Munich in front of 70,000 people. Currently studying with professors Ruben Dalibaltayan and Natalia Trull, Jan’s passion for sharing music has inspired him to share his work on social media, resulting in attracting millions of listeners to his videos.
