Quality piano lessons

Dimitar Dimitrov was born in Dobrich, Bulgaria. By the age of 2, he was already playing melodies on his accordion. His music education began when he received his first piano lesson at the age of 5. While Dimitar was a student in Michael Slavov’s piano class, at the National Music School “Lubomir Pipkov” in Sofia, he won several piano competitions:
• Hopes, Talents, Masters (Dobrich, 2004)
• Young Virtuoso International Competition (Sofia, 2005)
• The Franz Schubert International Competition (Russe, 2005)
• Grand Prize of the International Festival (San Daniele, Italy, 2005)
Upon finishing his secondary school music education in 2006, Dimitrov entered the Prins Claus Conservatory, Groningen. Here he studied with the renowned pianist, Dr. Tamara Poddubnaya.
Even before his first year at Prins Claus had ended, Dimitrov had garnered victories in 3 Dutch competitions:
• “Prinses Christina Concours,” The Hague, 2007
• “Harten Aas Trofee,” Groningen, 2007
• “Grachten Festival,” Amsterdam, 2007
Following the Prinses Christina Concours and “Harten Aas Trofee,” the jury called him a “Young lion of the piano, in the tradition of the great Russian pianists of the past.”
• In 2008, he won the Grand Prix at “Maria Yudina International Competition,” St. Petersburg in Russia.
• In August 2008 Dimitar won the 1st Prize at the LISMA Foundation International Piano Competition in New York.
In November 2008, Dimitrov’s earlier success in the “Prinses Christina Concours” earned him the spotlight with The North Netherlands Orchestra, as he performed Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1, with conductor Michel Tabachnik, during a 3-day tour of the Netherlands.
