Dr Allan Zavod


Allan shone as an amazing musical talent from a young age within Australia and overseas. He is a pianist, performer, composer, producer, music director and conductor. It would be hard to find another musician in the field of classical jazz with such a pedigree. Often described as a “keyboard wizard” for his amazing live performances, Allan has over a long period also composed numerous works for piano, film and orchestras.

Allan’s insatiable appetite for all things music, resulted in him composing major works performed by symphony orchestras and international performers. In 2009 Allan was awarded a degree of Doctor of Music by the University of Melbourne for his international contribution to music, being only one of five recipients of this degree for composition in the 150 year history of the University.

 In 2015 Allan fell ill and despite few warning signs, he was diagnosed with an inoperable stage 4 brain tumour. Needless to say this came as a huge shock to himself and his family and friends. As a consequence, Allan has been hospitalised several times and undergone extensive medical treatment.

With no income due to his inability to work and with ongoing bills and high medical expenses, this has created enormous financial expenses for Allan and his family. Accordingly, financial assistance is being sought from his many devotees and those who respect his talent.
