Eugen Ursu started to play the violin at the age of six. In 1998 he completed his musical studies at the Republican Music Lyceum "Serghei Rachmaninoff", and began his graduate studies at the Academy of Music, Theater and Fine Arts, Chisinau, Moldova.
Between 1999 and 2003 he had been perfecting his musical mastery with Nina Beilina (student of Vladimir Yampolsky and David Oistrach) at Mannes College of Music, New York, USA. He had also been studying the art of performing in chamber music with Edna Michell (student of famous violinist Yehudi Menuhin).
In 2002 Eugen became a member of Nina Beilina's chamber orchestra "Bacchanalia", and a concertmaster at Williamsburg Symphony, USA. Since 2012 he has been a member of the National Chamber Orchestra of Organ Hall, and in 2013 became a member of the "Concertino" Accordion band, Chisinau, Moldova.
Over the years he has performed as a soloist with the Symphony Orchestra of National Philharmonic "Serghei Lunchevici", National Orchestra of "TeleRadio Moldova" Company, National Chamber Orchestra of Organ Hall, Chisinau, Moldova.
He is currently a soloist and member of the "Concertino" Accordion band of National Philharmonic "Serghei Lunchevici" and guest concertmaster of the National Chamber Orchestra of Organ Hall.
Eugen’s teaching career started after he graduated from the Academy of Music Theatre and Fine Arts. He is prioritizing a deliberate and thorough approach in studying and practice, but also open for those students who are limited in practice time and just want to enjoy the music with the teacher. Being a great improviser himself he teaches different approaches to violin playing and fills his lessons with the excitement of new ideas and fun learning techniques.
