London-based German Persian concert pianist Parvis Hejazi has been acclaimed as a “rising star on the piano sky” (Ulla Hamann, ARD). Born in 1999, Parvis is winner of over 30 national and international piano competitions. He has performed with the Bremen Philharmonics under the baton of Marko Letonja, Jena Philharmonics under the baton of Markus Frank, Musica Viva Orchestra under the baton of Nicolas Hrudnik, Wratislavia Chamber Orchestra, and others. In 2025, Parvis performed Pierre Boulez’s Sur Incises at Bradshaw Hall and CBSO Centre Birmingham under the baton of Daniele Rosina, making him one of only very few pianists to perform the work notorious for its exceptional difficulty.

Parvis made his debut at Laeiszhalle Hamburg in 2015 upon winning the Federal Jugend musiziert competition in Germany. In 2016, he made his debut at the Wiener Saal Salzburg in 2016, following the prizewinner’s selection of the International Summer Academy Mozarteum in co-operation with the Salzburg Festival. He now calls many other national and international stages home, such as Die Glocke Bremen, Federal Chancellery Berlin, Villa Medici Giulini Milan, Gnessin Auditorium Moscow, the Old War Office London, the Kaufman Center and Klavierhaus in New York City. He has also given lecture recitals at the ConVivial Foundation Wiesbaden. In 2021, Parvis founded the series Salonkonzerte at Villa Ichon, where he presents exceptionally talented musicians in an informal, Schubertiade-type salon atmosphere, thus making classical music more accessible to wider audiences.

Parvis has studied with some of the greatest pianists of the present day, such as Elser, Markus Groh, Christopher Hinterhuber, Igor Levit, Jerome Lowenthal, Gilead Mishory, Jerome Rose, Anatol Ugorski and Lars Vogt. In 2017, Parvis moved to the United Kingdom to study with Norma Fisher and Vanessa Latarche at the Royal College of Music in London, where he graduated from the prestigious Artist Diploma programme with highest distinctions.
