About Payam
Doctoral Candidate | Former University Lecturer | Award-Winning Pianist Payam Pahlevanian is an experienced concert pianist and dedicated educator with a deep commitment to the art of teaching. Originally from Tehran, he began his piano studies at the age of 14 and quickly advanced to perform his first solo recital by 18. He holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Piano Performance from the Hochschule für Musik Detmold in Germany, where he studied with the legendary pianist Anatol Ugorski. His education was further enriched through masterclasses with internationally acclaimed artists such as András Schiff, Matti Raekallio, and Ivan Klansky. A prizewinner at the International Anton Rubinstein Competition in Düsseldorf, Payam has performed with major orchestras, including the Northwest German Philharmonic and the Tehran Symphony, and has given solo recitals across Europe and Iran.
