The Piano Workshop by Gil Shohat


Date: 15th March 09
Venue: Yamaha Music Square, Ambience Mall, Gurgaon


Gil Shohat, former wunderkind, today a 32-year-old pianist, teacher, conductor of the Israel Chamber Orchestra, and arguably one of Israel's most prolific and widely known composers. He has to his credit nine symphonies, eight concerti for various instruments, two operas and a hefty bundle of choral, chamber and piano works that are performed locally and internationally.

Shohat became music director of the ICO last fall, the youngest conductor ever of a major local orchestra. Fitting, since it was the ICO that in 1991 commissioned and performed his early work, The Nightingale and the Rose. Shohat was then 18. His opera Alpha and Omega is a parable of the Adam and Eve story. He has 14 orchestras, sells 3.5 million theater tickets annually and two million tickets for classical music and is the leading talent factory in the world.
