Lani Hall Watch Livestream

Join the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music as we welcome pianist Orli Shaham for the first installment of our 2024/25 David L. Abell Piano Master Series, a concert series which features renowned artists visiting UCLA to perform and work with our piano students.

About Orli Shaham:

Hailed as “a first-rate Mozartean” by Chicago Tribune, Orli Shaham has established an international reputation as one of today's most gifted pianists.

 

Orli Shaham has performed with many of the major orchestras around the world, and has appeared on stages from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House. She is Artistic Director of Pacific Symphony’s chamber series, Artist-in-Residence at Vancouver Symphony USA and Artistic Director of the interactive children's concert series, Orli Shaham’s Bach Yard.

 

In 2023, Ms. Shaham released Volume 4 of the complete Mozart Piano Sonatas; the final volumes released in 2024 conclude the cycle. Her Mozart recording project includes Volume 1, 2 and 3 of the Piano Sonatas, and Piano Concertos with St. Louis Symphony, which are part of her discography of a dozen titles on Canary Classics, Deutsche Gramophone, Sony, and other labels.

 

Orli Shaham is a co-host of the national radio program From the Top, is on faculty at The Juilliard School and is chair of the board of trustees at Kaufman Music Center in New York.

This event is made possible thanks to a gift from Barbara Abell who established The David L. Abell Piano Masters Series in honor of her late husband. Pianos were a passion for David, the owner of David L. Abell's Fine Pianos in Los Angeles, which became a hot-spot for musical legends such as Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, Andre Previn, George Shearing, Bob Hope, Tony Bennett, and Benny Carter. We are proud to celebrate this program as part of the 2024/25 David L. Abell Piano Master Series.
