Hailed for his "subtle, magical, spectacular playing, fascinating altogether" (Diario de Jerez), and for his "powerful playing, meticulously cared for down to the smallest detail, [...] completely his own" (De Nieuwe Muze), pianist Juan Pedro García Oliva emerges as one of the most prominent young classical musicians in Spain and abroad. He has received numerous awards in national and international piano competitions, and performs regularly as a soloist and in chamber music ensembles.

Among the prizes he has received, he was awarded the 1st prize, audience prize, best performance of chamber music prize, and best performance of Reza Navamar's Ti'afa'a prize at the YPF European Piano Competition - Grand Prix Youri Egorov 2022 in Amsterdam. He also won 2nd prize at the “Silvio Bengalli” competition, held in Pianello Val Tidone (Italy) in 2023.

Juan Pedro made his solo debut at the Kleine Zaal of Concertgebouw in Amsterdam in 2022, with a program that included Beethoven’s ‘Appassionata’, Ravel’s Gaspard de la nuit and Prokofiev’s 6th Sonata. He returned in 2023 to the Concertgebouw for another solo recital, which included Schumann’s Waldszenen, Shostakovich’s Sonata no. 2 and Prokofiev’s 7th Sonata. More recently, Juan Pedro also made his first appearance in 2025 at Carnegie Hall in New York, where he performed Bartók's Sonata for two pianos and percussion. 

Other important venues in which he has performed include Teatro Villamarta (Jerez de la Frontera), Palacio de San Telmo (Sevilla), ADDA Auditorium (Alicante), and Museu do Oriente (Lisbon). He has also been invited to perform at several festivals, among which SIPO (Portugal) and Sipiano (Switzerland).

Juan Pedro is supported by institutions that help him continue his studies abroad, with scholarships offered to him by Ministerio de Educación y Cultura de la Junta de Andalucía, Musici van Morgen, Nationaal Muziekinstrumenten Fonds (NMF), and Jeunesses Musicales Madrid. This last one was handed over to him by the Queen Sofía of Spain.
