Nominated as a 2022 ‘Rising Star’ by Classic FM, Jordanian-Palestinian pianist Iyad Sughayer was a prize-winner at the Young Classical Artists Trust international auditions in 2021, and has developed an exciting career as both a soloist and chamber musician.

Iyad’s debut album Khachaturian Piano Works for BIS Records was described by Gramophone as “exhilarating and delivered with perfect clarity” and “an outstanding debut” by BBC Music Magazine. His second recording for BIS with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, conducted by Andrew Litton, was released to critical acclaim in autumn 2022.

Iyad has also performed extensively in recital throughout the UK and Europe, performing at important venues such as the Berlin Konzerthaus, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Wigmore Hall in London, the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg and Festival Musique D’Abord in France. He has also undertaken a series of recitals at the Leicester International Music Festival performing the complete Mozart Piano Sonatas alongside newly commissioned pieces inspired by those great works.

As a concerto soloist Iyad has appeared with leading orchestras including the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, Manchester Camerata, European Union Chamber Orchestra, the Cairo and Amman Symphony Orchestras.

During the 2024/25 season Iyad will make his debut in Bogota in Colombia, as well as undertaking his first professional tour of North America.

In 2022 Iyad co-founded and launched a new specialist music school, the Mashrek Academy of Music, with the Mashrek International School in Amman. The Academy welcomes students from across Jordan, discovering and nurturing a new generation of creators and musicians.


“...He captures the music’s essence with such a close sense of recreative identity that it feels on occasion as though he could be composing it as he goes along. An outstanding debut…”

BBC Music Magazine / Khachaturian: Piano Works CD (BIS Records) / March 2020

“…exhilarating and delivered with perfect clarity ... It’s a release that leaves one eager to hear Sughayer in other repertory while eloquently arguing that Khachaturian’s piano music deserves re-evaluation as something more than teaching pieces…”

Gramophone / Khachaturian: Piano Works CD (BIS Records) / February 2020


The Dewing Piano Recital Series is made possible by a legacy gift from pianist Janet Dewing, a Mills graduate of the class of 1927.
