His CD “Concert for Oboe, Bassoon and Piano” with the Abramski Trio was released in 2008 and from 2009 to 2011 he was a regular chamber music partner of clarinet virtuoso Wolfgang Meyer which brought him great inspiration.

In recent years, Ron has turned much of his attention to the pedagogic teaching of young pianists and is delighted to be joining the VMS programme in 2023. He is a big proponent of the democratisation of knowledge through the internet and is excited to be guiding some of the most gifted young pianists regardless of location.
Ron Abramski studied under legendary pedagogue Maria Curcio from a young age, as well as many other wonderful teachers including Marlene Fleet, Cristina Ortiz, Charles Hopkins and Prof. Fany Solter. He holds degrees from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, and the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe where he completed a Masters degree specialising in contemporary analysis.
