Sebastian Androne-Nakanishi completed his Master's degree in Composition for Film, Theater and Media with André Bellmont at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). ICMA (international classical music awards) has now awarded him the title Composer of the Year Award.
Born in 1989, Sebastian Androne studied composition in Romania, Great Britain and France. His music has been performed throughout Europe and beyond by established ensembles and orchestras. He completed his doctorate in 2018 at the National University of Music in Bucharest with Dan Dediu as his supervisor and long-time mentor.
