Alon Goldstein is one of the most original and sensitive pianists of his generation, admired for his musical intelligence, dynamic personality, artistic vision and innovative programming. He has played with the Israel, London, Radio France, and Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestras as well as the Philadelphia, San Francisco, Baltimore, St. Louis, Dallas, Houston, and Vancouver symphonies under such conductors as Zubin Mehta, Herbert Blomstedt, Vladimir Jurowski, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Leon Fleisher, Peter Oundjian, Yoel Levi and others.

Highlights of the 2021-22 season include a performance with the Symphony of Westchester playing the rarely performed Mozart Piano Concertok 459, numerous performances at the “Lieven International Piano Foundation Summer Concerts,” at the Bösendorfer Salon in Vienna, at the Abbey Bach Festival in Oregon, and over a dozen concerts and lectures at the Emerald Coast Music Alliance in Florida – a festival dedicated to bringing music to populations with less access and means.
