A year later, he presented his first solo recital, and shortly afterward, won first prize in both the Haskovo State Music Competition (1984) and the Nedialka Simeonova Piano Competition (1985).
After entering the Plovdiv School of Music in 1986, Deltchev toured Bulgaria, and made his orchestral debut with the Haskovo Symphony Orchestra that was broadcast on BNR. The following year Deltchev received a full merit scholarship from Oberlin Conservatory in Ohio, where he earned a performance diploma. He continued his studies with full merit scholarships from San Francisco Conservatory and again at Indiana University at Bloomington, where he completed a graduate performance diploma with Evelyine Brancart.
