Merwan Mazloum was born on 4 October 2001 in Strasbourg. He began learning piano at the age of 4 before entering the Strasbourg Conservatory at 9 years old. After obtaining his scientific Baccalauréat with highest honors at 16, he dedicated himself entirely to music.
He was a student of Amy Lin in Strasbourg, Pascal Amoyel in Rueil-Malmaison, Billy Eidi in Paris, and received guidance from Boris Berman, Cyprien Katsaris, Florent Boffard, Marie-Josèphe Jude, and Rena Shereshevskaya during masterclasses.
In 2016, he gave his first recital featuring Chopin's third sonata and Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit. Piano Talent Series gave him the opportunity to release his debut EP at 18 years old featuring Schumann's Kinderszenen.
Merwan has received several honors, including the national prize of the Académie Musicale de France, first prize at the ABRAPA chamber music competition in trio with violin and cello, and is a laureate of the Société Générale, Adami, and Safran foundations.
After obtaining his DNSPM, State Diploma in piano teaching, and a bachelor's degree in musicology in Strasbourg, he entered the CNSMD de Lyon for his Master's in the class of Laurent Cabasso and Hélène Bouchez. Passionate about romantic music, he wrote a research thesis in this context on the use of the pedal in the work of Frédéric Chopin.
In June 2024, he graduated with a Master's degree in piano from the CNSMD de Lyon, performing Chopin's first concerto with orchestra. He continues to perform regularly in concert, both solo and in chamber music, and is currently pursuing the CA piano teacher certification program at the CNSMD de Paris.
