Ivan Krpan (Zagreb, 1997) graduated in piano from the Academy of Music in Zagreb in the class of Ruben Dalibaltayan. In 2023, he completed his postgraduate studies at the Konzertexamen at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln in the class of Prof. Claudio Martinez Mehner. He attended master classes with Dalibor Cikojević, Siavush Gadjiev, Đorđe Stanetti, Kemal Gekić, Pavel Gililov and Klaus Kaufmann. He is a laureate of numerous regional, national and international piano competitions (2014: EPTA Belgium in Brussels, Young Virtuosos in Zagreb, competitions in Ulm and Enschede; 2015: Mozart Competition in Zhuhai, China; 2016: Ettlingen, Frédéric Chopin in Moscow). The Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra awarded him the Young Musician of the Year award for 2016. He is also the winner of the Vladimir Nazor State Award and the Rector's Award for achievements in 2017. That year he achieved great success, winning the first prize at the Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition in Bolzano – one of the most prestigious piano competitions in the world. In the finals, he performed as a soloist with the Haydn Orchestra and conductor Arvo Volmer, and with his performance of the 5th Concerto for Piano and Orchestra by Ludwig van Beethoven, he won the favor of the expert jury and the audience. The concert was broadcast live by the Italian television company RAI. Upon his return to Zagreb, he gave a recital in the Blagoje Bersa Hall, which was broadcast live by Croatian Television. The victory in Bolzano brought him a number of engagements, including guest appearances in Italy, Germany, Japan and South Korea.
