ABOUT SIMÓN
Simón Pazos Quintana is a Spanish-born, Adelaide-based classical pianist, accompanist and teacher.
He obtained his Bachelor of Music with First Class Honours at the Elder Conservatorium of Music in Adelaide, under the tutelage of Professor Stefan Ammer. In 2018, he made his concerto debut with the Elder Conservatorium Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of maestro James Lowe. Later that year, he was awarded the Peter Schodde Memorial Piano Scholarship, with which he travelled throughout Germany, Austria and England, playing for highly respected professors and performers to further his technical abilities and musicianship.
Upon his return to Adelaide, Simón was a finalist in the 2019, 2021 and 2023 Geoffrey Parsons
Awards for piano accompaniment. He accompanies classes and exams in the Elder Conservatorium, where he is also a piano teacher as part of the Open Music Academy. He is a sought-after accompanist and regularly features in the Recitals Australia lunchtime concerts.
Simón completed his performance-based PhD last year under the supervision of pianist Konstantin Shamray. The doctorate was centred around recordings of the full works for solo piano by composer Aleksandr Mosolov and was awarded with a Dean’s Commendation.
As a solo recital pianist, Simón performed in the 2024 PianoLab festival, where he presented works by Mosolov, and will feature in the Elder Conservatorium 2025 Lunchtime Concert Series in September, performing works by Dvořák and Turina.
