We are delighted to announce the appointment of a new piano teacher, Vadim Peaceman, to join us in September.
Vadim was born in Baku, in the former USSR. He started to play the piano at the age of five, making his concert début at the age of nine with the Baku Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1983 he received the First Prize in the annual Republic Music Festival for young musicians, and in the same year was awarded First Prize in the Young Pianist Competition.
In 1987 he began studying at the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory in St Petersburg and continued his studies at the Academy of Music in Tel-Aviv.
In 1995 he was awarded a scholarship by the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music to study at the Royal Academy of Music, London, under Christopher Elton. During this time he won the Christopher Carpenter Recital Prize, the Myra Hess Trust Award and Second Prize at the Inter-Collegiate Beethoven Competition in London.
He has performed extensively as a soloist, accompanist and in chamber music throughout the UK, Europe and the United States. Vadim also teaches piano at Westminster Under School and St Aubyn’s school in London.
