She relocated to the United Kingdom in 2002, where she is continuing her career as a concert pianist.
Pavlina''s recording Piano Gems & Masterpieces is dedicated to the memory of Pavlina''s grandmother, Theodora Delova. A renowned professional pianist and cultural correspondent, Theodora was Pavlina''s first piano teacher. She graduated from the Braunschweig Institute in Germany, and on her return to Bulgaria, spent the rest of her life promoting, developing and performing classical music through the most adverse of circumstances: World War II and the communist regime.
In her lifetime, Theodora had an enormous impact on Bulgarian music and musical culture as a pianist, music critic and cultural correspondent. Thanks to Theodora, Pavlina was brought up in a rich world of classical music and today her musical spirit lives on through Pavlina.
