Yaara Tal
The Israeli pianist Yaara Tal gave her first concert at the age of seven. She was supported by the American-Israel Cultural Foundation throughout her youth and studied piano with Arie Vardi and composition with Abel Ehrlich and André Hajdu at the Rubin Music Academy in Tel Aviv.
Yaara Tal and her German partner Andreas Groethuysen form one of the world’s leading piano duos today and perform in the most prestigious event settings. Representative of many are: Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Philharmonie Berlin, Alte Oper Frankfurt, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Hong Kong Arts Festival, Philharmonie Köln, Teatro alla Scala Milan, Philharmonie München, Radio France, Frick Collection New York, Forbidden City Concert Hall Beijing, Piano Festival La Roque d‘Anthéron, Ruhr Piano Festival, Salzburg Festival, Wiener Musikverein, Tonhalle Zürich, Festwochen Luzern.
An essential part of the international success of the duo Tal & Groethuysen is also their exclusive collaboration with the record company SONY CLASSICAL which has produced around 40 albums in the last thirty years. A large number of these have been awarded prestigious prizes. Among others, the duo has received the “German Record Critics’ Award” eleven times, the “Cannes Classical Award”, the ECHO Klassik five times and most recently the OpusKlassik 2021.
