Ivan Bašić je višestruko nagrađivan pijanista, traženi solista, strastveni kamerni muzičar i – pripovedač. Kristalni zvuk, prirodno fraziranje i energija čine njegove nastupe izuzetno posećenim i hvaljenim, te je u prethodnim sezonama Ivan nastupao sa vodećim evropskim orkestrima, predstavio autorski ciklus koncerata u Cirihu i osvоjio nagrade na renomiranim pijanističkim takmičenjima u Haenu, Monci i Rimu.
Kroz kreativno osmišljavanje programa, otvorenost prema često zanemarenom repertoaru i energične nastupe, Ivan je postao redovan gost festivalskih bina u Evropi, Aziji i Africi – u Davosu, Gštadu, Portu, Padovi, Gmundenu, Kairu i Tokiju. Bogat repertoar klavirskih koncerata mu je omogućio nastupe sa istaknutim evropskim orkestrima: Musikkollegium Winterthur, Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano, Orquesta Filarmonica de Malaga, Simfonijskim orkestrom RTS-a, Roma Tre Orchestra, Orchestergesellschaft Zurich, sarađujući sa dirigentima Oliverom Sekulić-Barac, Srbom Dinićem, Bojanom Suđićem, Masimilijanom Matešićem, Karlosom Čekom i Andreom Odoneom.
Ivan Bašić je laureat konkursa Premio de Piano Jaen (2023), takmičenja Rina Sala Gallo u Monci (2022) i Concorso Internazionale Pianistico Roma (2021), osvojivši na svakom niz specijalnih nagrada – od nagrade publike i omladinskog žirija, do nagrada za najupečatljivije interpretacije kompozicija. Njegova postignuća su ovenčana i posebnim priznanjima: nagradom Fondacije Kuomo iz Monte Karla, prestižnom nagradom Kifer Hablicel, kojom je proglašen jednim od vodećih mladih muzičara u Švajcarskoj i Nagradom za najboljeg mladog muzičara Srbije, koja mu je dodeljena u dva navrata: 2014. i 2022. godine.
Nakon višegodišnjeg snimanja za radio i televiziju, Ivan je 2021. objavio svoj prvi kompakt disk sa delima Musorgskog i Ravela. Tokom pandemije koronavirusa, sarađivao je sa švajcarskom platformom Art on Air, snimivši dva onlajn koncerta i svetsku premijeru Koncerta za klavir Džajlsa Volenmana. Kao promoter dela savremenih srpskih kompozitora, imao je čast da premijerno izvodi dela Igora Jaćimovića, Aleksandra S. Vujića, Predraga Repanića i Damjana Jovičina.
Pored negovanja koncertne karijere, Ivan Bašić je aktivan i kao pedagog, te od 2019. drži majstorske kurseve. Trenutno je zaposlen kao umetnički asistent u klavirskoj klasi prof. Konstantina Šerbakova na Univerzitetu umetnosti u Cirihu i vodi svoju klasu na Konzervatorijumu u Cirihu.
Ivan Bašić je rođen u Beogradu 1996. godine, a klasičnu muziku je otkrio sa 5 godina. Put školovanja ga je vodio kroz muzičke škole „Konjović“ i „Mokranjac“, u kojima je učio sviranje klavira kod Ljubinke Kujundžić, Milice Vasiljević-Bisenić i Željke Vorkapić. Po završetku studija na beogradskom Fakultetu muzičke umetnosti kod istaknutog pedagoga Nevene Popović, Ivan se 2017. godine preselio u Cirih kako bi se usavršavao u radu sa svetski poznatim pijanistom Konstantinom Šerbakovim. Ivan Bašić je oblikovao svoje umetničke poglede pohađajući majstorske kurseve kod Borisa Petrušanskog, Žaka Ruvijea, Vovke Aškenazija i Stivena Bišopa-Kovačeviča.
