THE NEW YORK TIMES: "Effective and Flamboyant"
THE BOSTON GLOBE: "An original major talent"

Rami Bar-Niv is one of Israel's most acclaimed and sought after
pianists.  He travels extensively and has become an international citizen,
concertizing all over the world.  Born in Tel-Aviv, he graduated with
honors from the Rubin Academy of Music, and was the recipient of many
prizes and scholarships.  He won the America-Israel Cultural Foundation
Competition and was awarded a scholarship to further his studies in the
United States.  After graduating from the Mannes College of Music in New
York, where he studied with the renowned Mme.  Nadia Reisenberg, he won
numerous competitions and embarked on a highly successful concert career.
Ever since, he performs regularly in North, Central and South America,
Europe, Africa, Australia, and of course Israel, where he recently received
the "Best Performer Award" from the Israeli government.  He appears on
TV and radio, in chamber ensembles, solo recitals, and as soloist with
orchestras, and is always received with great enthusiasm.  Often sent
abroad by the Foreign Ministry to represent Israel in concerts, he has
become an ambassador of goodwill for Israel.  Rami Bar-Niv made history
by being the first, and so far the only, Israeli artist to perform in
Egypt following the Begin/Sadat Peace Treaty.  His recordings for CBS and
other labels in Israel and abroad have met with praise and popularity.
Rami Bar-Niv offers music of great variety and contrast in style, and
is an extremely versatile performer.
