In 1977 he entered the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory where he had the privilege to study with Maestro Victor Merzhanov. After graduating with honors in 1982, he continued his postgraduate studies with Maestro Merzhanov earning his Doctor of Musical Arts degree (1986) receiving an honors diploma. Upon completion of his studies, Dr. Volkov became assistant professor to Maestro Merzhanov at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory and held this position until leaving for the United States in December of 1990. While teaching at the Moscow Conservatory, Volkov split his time between pedagogy and a busy concert schedule enjoying many performances throughout USSR and Europe until his departure for the United States. Numerous successes at the international competitions, including the William Kapell in 1990, led to the invitation to join the music faculty at the University of Maryland as a visiting professor. His international concert pianist career took Volkov all around the world (from Chile to Japan). He has performed in the most prestigious concert halls including the Great Hall of Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, The Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center in New York, South Bay Center for the Arts in California, as well as Tokyo Bunka Kaikan in Japan, Teatro Cervantes de Malaga in Spain, and many others. A dozen of Volkov’s recordings that cover musical styles from Haydn to Schnittke and released on Music Corporation of America (MCA), Melodia (USSR), Fontec (Japan), and Brioso Recordings (USA) labels have gained high critical acclaim:
