ORLI SHAHAM
A consummate musician recognized for her grace, subtlety and vitality, Orli Shaham has
established an impressive international reputation as one of today’s most gifted pianists.
Hailed by critics on four continents, Ms. Shaham is in demand for her prodigious skills
and admired for her interpretations of both standard and modern repertoire.  The St.
Louis Post-Dispatch recently praised her “wit, passion, delicacy and humor” in a
performance with the St. Louis Symphony, and London’s Guardian said Ms. Shaham's
playing was “perfection” during her recent Proms debut with the BBC Symphony
Orchestra.

Orli Shaham has performed with the Cleveland and Philadelphia Orchestras, the
Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, St. Louis and San Francisco Symphonies, the
BBC Symphony Orchestra, Filarmonica della Scala, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra,
Stockholm Philharmonic, Bilbao Symphony, Orchestra della Toscana, Orchestre
National de Lyon, Taiwan Philharmonic, and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.  A
frequent guest at summer festivals, she has performed at Ravinia, Verbier, Mostly
Mozart, Aspen, Caramoor, and Spoleto.

Orli Shaham was recognized early for her prodigious talents. She received her first
scholarship for musical study from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation at age five to
study with Luisa Yoffe at the Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem. By age seven, she
traveled to New York with her family to begin study with Nancy Stessin, and became a
scholarship student of Herbert Stessin at The Juilliard School a year later.  She has also
won the Gilmore Young Artist Award and the Avery Fisher Career Grant, two
prestigious prizes given to further the development of outstanding talent.   In addition to
her musical education, Orli Shaham holds a degree in history from Columbia University.  
Orli Shaham lives in New York and St. Louis with her husband, conductor David
Robertson, stepsons Peter and Jonathan, and newborn twin sons Nathan and Alex.
