Ariel

I am a young pianist and musician living in Jerusalem, Israel. I study music at the Conservatory of the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance.
Welcome to my site. I hope you enjoy the music. I would be very happy if you sent me e-mail or came to one of my concerts, especially if you’re a young musician yourself.
I have many interests in music. My main instrument is the piano, but I also study the violin and like to explore other instruments on my own. I also compose and study conducting. I play many pieces from the classical piano repertoire, from Byrd  to Ligeti and from Haydn to Hajdu. In jazz, I am interested in just about everything, from bebop and Latin to avant-garde and free jazz. I am a member of the avant-garde group of jazz musicians, the Kadima Collective.
I played many classical concerts and recitals, and had lots of  bar dates performing jazz standards, some of my own compositions, and free jazz improvisations. I have performed all over Israel, as well as in the US, France, and Italy. Check out some of the videos on this site from performances in Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv, New York, Los Angeles, Providence, Paris, Vicenza, Ravello, Belfast, and more.
