Israeli pianist Nimrod David Pfeffer has been praised for his interpretations of Romantic repertoire, particularly of the music of Chopin, and, in his early 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. He has appeared as soloist at the Russian Kremlin in a recital which was broadcast throughout Russia by "Kultura" television. Pfeffer has performed at Warsaw's 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. At the age of 21 he performed for King Abdullah II and Queen Rania of Jordan and other world leaders as pianist and conductor in the World Economic Forum in Jordan. 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 Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra in December 2008, playing the World Premiere of Aharon Harlap's Second Piano Concerto. Devoted to promoting contemporary music, Pfeffer has given the world premieres of many works which were written especially for him. He has been featured in radio and television broadcasts in Israel, Austria, Russia, and the US. Pfeffer has won many prizes including first prizes at the International Columbia Chopin Competition (Columbia University, New York, December 2007), the Katcz Competition (Tel Aviv Academy of Music, January 2005), the Mozart Concerto Competition (Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, February 2002), and the Tel-Aviv Chopin Competition (November 2001). Pfeffer is a recipient of the Bagby Foundation For the Musical Arts grant, and since 2002 he has been a recipient of the America-Israel Cultural Foundation scholarship. Pfeffer has studied with Gideon Hatzor, Vadim Monastyrski, Pnina Salzman and Victor Rosenbaum and is currently enrolled in the Professional Studies program at the Mannes College of Music in New York City as a student of Richard Goode.
