Efi Hackmey | Pianist
Pianist Efi Hackmey pursues a dynamic career as a soloist, recitalist and chamber musician. This season he performs the Chopin F minor concerto with the Haifa Symphony Orchestra in Israel, and a solo recital at the Rose Studio, Lincoln Center. Mr. Hackmey has performed at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall and the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. A native of Israel, he has performed at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Jerusalem Music Center, and in special concerts presented by the Arthur Rubinstein International Music Society. He performed many additional concerts in Israel and Germany, and in the US states of Alabama, Florida, Indiana, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas. He has performed on Israeli TV Channel 2, and his recordings have been broadcast on the Israeli National Public Radio, and in the US on WTSU, WRWA and WTJB.
Mr. Hackmey is based primarily in New York. He is an avid chamber musician, with performances at Bargemusic, Kosciuszko Foundation and the Friends of Mozart series at Christ and St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church. A review of one of his recent New York performances quotes “excellent Israeli musician… under his fingers the piano sounded noble, and each phrase was full of character”, and further praises his “highly personal, thought‐through interpretation.” (Roman Markowicz, “Przeglad Polski”).
Efi is also interested in reaching out to new audiences, and in this context he toured west Texas with acclaimed soprano Raquela Sheeran in March 2010. This tour, which was sponsored by the New York based Piatigorsky Foundation, included seven recitals in high schools and public libraries, and Raquela and Efi repeated the program later at an elementary school in Manhattan. In 2011 Raquela and Efi will tour Wyoming and Idaho.
Mr. Hackmey has served on the piano faculty at DePauw University (2007-2009), and he also taught at the Indiana University system (2005-2008). He is on the faculty of Summertrios chamber music festival since summer 2009. He studied piano and orchestra conducting at Tel Aviv University, and is now completing his doctoral studies in piano performance at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. He has studied with Menahem Pressler, Pnina Salzman and Dina Turgeman, and has coached with Lazar Berman, Emanuel Ax, Richard Goode, Janos Starker, David Zinman, Richard Stoltzman and Jaime Laredo.
