Slava Antipov performed with an orchestra from the age of eight and won several piano competitions for the young musicians. When the family moved to London, Slava continued his music education at the Junior Department of the Royal College of Music and the Purcell School for Young Musicians before entering the Royal Academy of Music where he was awarded a scholarship and the Peter Clarke bursary. Slava completed his education at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance studying with Alexander Ardakov. Currently, he is attending Piano Masterclass course with an acclaimed pianist Martino Tirimo at Morley College.
Slava was selected to take part in the Lang Lang Inspires massed piano day at the Royal Festival Hall and performed with the Folkestone & Hythe Orchestra (conductor Graham Harvey) after winning the Clovelly Recording Piano Competition. He also became a finalist in the Liszt Society International Piano Competition.
He has regularly been playing solo concerts in Maidstone, Dartford, Deal, Bedford and London as well as taking part in the concerts all over the UK and abroad including Germany, France and Luxembourg. Slava performed a few times at Wigmore Hall including playing a Chamber Music Recital with the Kingfisher Piano Trio.
