About Orli Shaham, piano

A consummate musician recognized for her grace, subtlety and brilliance, pianist Orli Shaham is in demand for her prodigious skills and admired for her interpretations of both standard and modern repertoire. The New York Times called her a "brilliant pianist," The Chicago Tribune referred to her as “a first-rate Mozartean,” and London's Guardian said Ms. Shaham's playing at the Proms was "perfection."

She has performed with most of the major orchestras in the United States, on stage internationally from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House, and at music festivals around the world. Since 2007, she has been artistic director for Pacific Symphony’s chamber music series, and is artistic director of the interactive children's concert series Orli Shaham’s Bach Yard, which she founded in 2010.

Ms. Shaham is on faculty at The Juilliard School, and is co-host and creative for NPR’s “From the Top.” In addition to her musical education at the Juilliard School, Orli Shaham has a BA from Columbia University. She is a member of the board of trustees of Kaufman Music Center, serving as chair through 2023.
