Ari Livne

Active as a solo artist, collaborator, and chamber musician, Ari Livne has performed extensively throughout the United States at such venues as Benaroya Hall and the Kennedy Center. His diverse set of interests and skills has allowed him to become equally comfortable as a performer, opera coach, and lecturer. He has worked as repetiteur for Don Giovanni and Butterfly with New York’s Heartbeat Opera, and has presented lecture-recitals on themes from psychoanalysis for the Northwestern Psychoanalytic Society and Institute.

Ari was a Gold Award winner at the youngARTS competition, and subsequently was selected as a Presidential Scholar in the Arts. While at Juilliard, Ari was recognized for his inventive programming; he premiered a new set of songs by the composer Cyrus Von Hochstetter at one of his recitals, and presented a recital consisting of Brahms’ last four completed works. He was one of two Juilliard students selected to be a featured performer at the Kyoto International Music Festival in Kyoto, Japan, and he has been invited to perform multiple times at the Hudson Chamber Society in New York and at Piano on Park. Ari has appeared twice at the Juilliard Focus Festival, and he performed for Dr. Alexander Scriabine and Dr. Christine Scriabine, close relatives of the composer Alexander Scriabin. He has also been a faculty member at the State College Piano Festival (State College, PA), where he performed both a solo recital and a recital of Beethoven Violin Sonatas on successive evenings.

Ari Livne received his Bachelor of Arts from Yale University in 2012 and his Master of Music Degree at The Juilliard School in 2014. He is currently studying with Ursula Oppens as a doctoral student at the CUNY Graduate Center, where he is the recipient of a Graduate Center Fellowship.
