His father was a music teacher, and his mother was a pianist. From a young age, Palm was exposed to music and showed a keen interest in it. He started playing the piano at the age of six and later learned to play the violin. Palm's musical talent was evident from an early age, and he received his first public recognition at the age of 12 when he won a national competition for young musicians. He continued to hone his skills and went on to study at the Berlin University of the Arts, where he received a degree in music. After completing his studies, Palm began his career as a concert violinist. He quickly gained a reputation for his exceptional talent and was invited to perform at some of the most prestigious concert halls in Europe, including the Berlin Philharmonic and the Vienna State Opera.

One of the highlights of Palm's career was his performance of Beethoven's Violin Concerto with the Berlin Philharmonic in 1962. The performance was widely praised, and Palm was hailed as a virtuoso violinist. He went on to perform the concerto with many other orchestras around the world, cementing his reputation as one of the greatest interpreters of Beethoven's music. In addition to his performances as a soloist, Palm was also a dedicated chamber musician. He was a founding member of the Berlin Philharmonic String Quartet, which was widely regarded as one of the finest quartets of its time. The quartet performed together for over 20 years, and their recordings of the Beethoven and Brahms quartets are still considered some of the best ever made. Palm was also a respected teacher and mentor to many young musicians.
