Thirteen-year-old Anita Pari has charmed audiences with her beautiful interpretations
of the piano repertoire. In 2009, she placed first at the Canadian Music Competition
and at the ORMTA provincials (student instrumental). In 2010, she completed with
distinction the Performers' Diploma of the Royal Conservatory of Music, receiving a
gold medal for maintaining the highest average mark in theory exams. This year, she
placed third at the Virginia Waring International Piano Competition where she
performed Shostakovich's F Major Concerto with orchestra. Most recently she
participated in the Young Artist Program of the National Arts Centre as the only
young pianist selected in the pre-college program and was invited twice to perform in
Ottawa's classical music festival Music and Beyond. She is very excited to have been
selected this year's ORMTA Provincial Young Artist.
Anita studies piano with Andrew Tunis of the University of Ottawa. She also studies
cello with Anne Contant of the Conservatoire de musique de Gatineau and composes,
having distinguished herself in both disciplines at the national level. Her first chamber
