Andrei Bostan began studying violin at the age of seven and obtained his Master's Degree  in Violin Performance from the Cluj-Napoca Conservatory of Music at the Academy of Romania. After Graduating from the Conservatory, Andrei's exceptional musical ability secured him a first violin section position with the State Opera of Cluj-Napoca (1972-1976). Andrei is a highly professional classical violinist with the unusual combination of abilities  in both the classical as well as the improvisational (jazz) arenas.

In the United States, Andrei  has performed and recorded with numerous musical organizations, including the Monterey  County Symphony, Oregon Festival Orchestra, Santa Cruz Symphony, West Bay Opera, Black Tie Jazz Orchestra, Arioso String Quartet, Caffezino Jazz Quintet, and Mon Tango.

The Bostan Strings, which Andrei leads, can be constituted in a variety of configurations depending upon the occasion: from duos and trios for small gatherings or corporate events, to larger groups for weddings or large dances. The performers are selected from among the Bay Area's finest musicians.
