His technique, his musicianship and his artistry allowed the audience to relax and enjoy a superb recital… I had to constantly remind myself that this consummate musician lives and teaches in Tauranga and has not just flown in on a concert tour… He has so much to offer us.”

Bob Addison, Bay of Plenty Times

Iliya plays with exceptional artistry, clarity and passion. He draws his audience to himself with ease, inviting them to experience new musical worlds.”
