A consummate musician recognized for her grace, subtlety, and brilliance, the pianist Orli Shaham is hailed by critics on four continents. 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."

Orli Shaham has performed with many of the major orchestras around the world, and has appeared in recital internationally, from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House. She is Artistic Director of Pacific Symphony’s chamber series Café Ludwig in California since 2007, and Artistic Director of the interactive children's concert series, Orli Shaham’s Bach Yard, which she founded in 2010.

Highlights of Ms. Shaham’s 2023-2024 concert season include performances with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, two chamber performances with musicians from Vancouver Symphony Orchestra USA where she is artist-in-residence, and a German tour with Brandenburg State Orchestra. Orli Shaham releases the final two volumes of the complete piano sonatas by Mozart. Volumes 1-4 of the sonata cycle, and a recording of Mozart’s Piano Concertos received high critical acclaim. She taught a master class on the digital platform Tonebase centered around the Mozart sonatas, and a live online discussion and demonstration about Clara Schumann.

Orli Shaham is a Co-Host and Creative for the national radio program From the Top. She is on the piano and chamber music faculty at The Juilliard School and is chair of the board of trustees at Kaufman Music Center in New York.

Orli Shaham has been a Steinway Artist since 2003.
