Aaron Pilsan (born 1995, in Dornbirn) is an Austrian pianist.
Pilsan started to learn the piano at the age of five. As a teenager he studied under Karl-Heinz Kämmerling, and subsequently became a pupil of Lars Vogt.[1] His inclusion in the Rising Star programme of the European Concert Hall Organisation saw him receive a number of recital engagements while still in his teens. In 2014, at the age of 19, Naïve Records released his debut recording, featuring works by Beethoven and Schubert.[2] Gramophone's reviewer Bryce Morrison praised Pilsan for using "his remarkable agility to a purely musical end" in Schubert's Wandererfantasie.[3] Aaron Pilsan has been supported by the Swiss foundation "Orpheum" since 2015 and he became a scholar of the "Mozart Gesellschaft Dortmund" in the same year. In August 2017, he was awarded the "Förderpreis Deutschlandfunk". In early 2018, Deutsche Grammophon released "HOME", a musical tribute to Aaron Pilsan's hometown in Vorarlberg, Austria together with long-time duo partner, cellist and friend Kian Soltani. The Album features the works of Schubert, Schumann and Reza Vali.[4]
