Marios frequently performs with his trio Mythos which has appeared in Europe and USA. He has received praise for his playing from audience, artists and critics and has won several 1st piano competitions in Greece, Italy (“Cafaro”, “Rome 2012” etc), France (“Epinal” 2013) and UK (Royal Academy of Music “Else Cross prize” 2014).

Important influences on his musical personality have been Parry Derembey-Papastayrou (Athens Conservatory), Sergio Perticaroli (Accademia Santa Cecilia, Rome), and Noel Flores (Vienna University) all of whom guided him to the highest grades and honours in his piano studies and encouraged his artistic development. He had special courses with Eliso Virsaladze (2013) and Trio di Parma (chamber music 2009) – Music School of Fiesole – and has had masterclasses with important pianists such as Aldo Ciccolini, William Grant Naboré, France Clidat, Lilia Zilberstein.
In addition to his piano diplomas, Marios Panteliadis has a Bachelor degree in Orchestral Conducting from Rome Conservatory “Santa Cecilia” (2011) and has been a piano teacher at the Conservatory since November 2012. He is currently following the MMus programme at the Royal Academy of Music in London with Prof Tatiana Sarkissova, supported by the Onassis, Leventis, and Athena Foundations in Greece and UK.

Peter Horsfield's poem below was inspired by Marios's visit to Leatherhead early in 2015:
Tested to Destruction
On two stacked chairs he bounces precariously –
Schiedmayer piano visibly shakes on the carpet,
while brooding, percussive crescendos
cascade, ever more intense,
then die to a melancholic tranquillo
outpouring of emotion.
Surrounding silence hugs his dark-suited form,
absorbed in the flowing moment;
with total focus he holds his audience.
Renewed stormy rhythmic agitation
fills the instrument's compass,
explores its limits –
in thundering savagery
his fingers assail the keys;
yet maintain controlled precision,
every complicated
melodic progression in its place,
every dissonant chord and crashing octave
perfectly executed.
By primitive, primeval dance
of Hungarian Liszt and Bartok,
he is possessed; and we with him.
Not wanting the concert to end,
I am abruptly jolted from my reverie.
The piano has survived well –
its forerunner might not have been so fortunate;
in the mind's eye
exploding wooden splinters strew the stage,
mirroring the music's passion.

Inspired by the lunchtime piano recital given at Leatherhead Methodist Church
on 30th April 2015 by Marios Panteliadis. Since then, a kind local donor has given the Church an adjustable piano stool!
