Bulgarian born pianist Deltcho Deltchev began piano studies at the age of five, entering the Special School for Gifted Children in Haskovo as one of their youngest students. A year later he presented his first solo recital, and shortly afterward, won first prize in both the Haskovo State Music Competition (1984) and the Nedialka Simeonova Piano Competition (1985).

After entering the Plovdiv Boarding School of Music in 1986, Deltcho toured Bulgaria, and made his orchestral debut with the Haskovo Symphony Orchestra. Upon graduation, he received a full scholarship to the Academy of Music and Dance in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, and was invited to perform in their opening gala concert in 1993.

The following year Deltchev received a full scholarship from Oberlin Conservatory in Ohio, where he earned a Performance Diploma. He continued his studies with full scholarships from San Francisco Conservatory and again at Indiana University at Bloomington, where he completed a graduate Performance Diploma.

Deltcho Deltchev has performed extensively throughout the United State and Europe. Notable U.S. venues include the Museum of Fine Arts in Montgomery, Alabama, and Agnes Albert, Hellman Hall, and Lorraine Hansberry Theatre in San Francisco. Engagements in the United States this season include recitals in Boston, Cape Cod, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Ohio and Las Cruces, New Mexico.  This season Mr. Deltchev performs abroad in London, Brighton, Cyprus, Milan, Italy and St. Petersburg, Russia.

Deltchev has received superlative reviews. The Montgomery Advisor wrote of Deltchev: "This concert was a taste of heaven." Just recently, the Los Alamos Monitor declared: "Deltchev has the gift, but moreover, he has the presence a performer needs to hypnotize his audience.”
