Israeli pianist Nimrod David Pfeffer has been praised for his interpretations of Romantic repertoire, particularly of the music of Chopin, and, in his mid-twenties, is quickly gaining recognition as one of today's distinguished young classical pianists. He made his New York debut at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in May 2008, in a recital celebrating Israel’s 60th Independence Day, and in September 2009 he returned in a Concert in Honor of Peace. In June 2011 he performed music of Chopin on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, in American Ballet Theatre's production of Lady of the Camellias. He made his debut at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center in New York City in June 2010, in a performance of Beethoven's Triple Concerto with the ISO and guest soloists from the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Pfeffer made his debut with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in December 2008, playing the World Premiere of Aharon Harlap's Second Piano Concerto. In July 2011 he was chosen to be a fellow in the prestigious Steans Music Institute at Ravinia Festival.

He has performed at the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall and Royal Lazienky Park, New York's Steinway Hall, and Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest, as well as in concert halls in Israel, Russia, Poland, Austria, Malta, Jordan, Hong Kong and the USA.
