Romanovsky appeared at age 11 with the Moscow Virtuosi under Vladimir Spivakov. His piano teacher was Leonid Margarius, a pupil of Regina Horowitz, sister of pianist Vladimir Horowitz.[2] At the age of seventeen (2001) he won First Prize at the Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition.[citation needed] As his teacher Margarius moved to Italy to teach at the “Accademia pianistica di Imola”, Romanovsky moved to Italy to continue his studies with him.[3] Romanovsky graduated from the Academy in 2007 with a master's degree. He also studied under pianist Dimitri Alexeev at the Royal College of Music in London, England, graduating with an "Artist's Diploma" upon completing his studies there in 2008.[4]
He currently teaches at the Royal College of Music and at the Conservatorio di Reggio Emilia.[5] His future projects include recording the piano concertos of Alexander Glazunov with the Russian National Orchestra conducted by José Serebrier and the Diabelli Variations of Ludwig van Beethoven for Decca.[6]
Romanovsky has played throughout Europe, as well as in Japan, Hong Kong and the United States.[4]
Romanovsky was suspended from his position as professor at the Royal College of Music in London, following his playing a street recital in the bombed-out Mariupol [7]in the presence of Russian propaganda cameras and following an interview given to Russian media alongside his collaborator the Russian violinist and Pro-Putin propagandist Petr Lundstrem.[8]
