In terms of parallelism, "as important" matches "as performing." If you changed "to" to another "as," the sentence would suggest that music theory was just as important <em>as</em> music education. Actually, the sentence is saying that music theory is an essential <em>part of</em>music education. The importance of theory and education are not compared, but the importance of theory and performance are. The construction "important to" just expresses that something is a key component of something else (as in, "The doctor's advice was important to her patient's recovery"), so in the sentence above the parallelism is in good shape. Thanks for looking out! No, not in this case.
