Mr. Goldberg’s recent engagements include such high-profile venues as Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, and Bargemusic in New York City, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts in Chicago, and the Tel Aviv Museum of Arts. Upcoming appearances include concerto performances with the Brooklyn Philharmonic and the Manila Symphony Orchestra, as well as recitals at the Wiener Konzerthaus in Vienna, and the Oriental Arts Center in Shanghai. Mr. Goldberg‘s performances can often be heard on WQXR (New York), WFMT (Chicago), WBGH (Boston), dzFE (Manila) and Radio Television Hong Kong.
He most recently enjoyed a critically acclaimed debut tour in Asia, including China, Myanmar, Thailand, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. “Hailed as the new Horowitz, Goldberg is fast becoming a musical legend,” wrote the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, declaring him an “Israel Cultural Ambassador.”
A distant relative of Vladimir Horowitz, Mr. Goldberg is a winner of the Vladimir Horowitz International Piano Competition in Kiev, the Artist Recognition Award at the International Keyboard Festival in New York, and the Pro Musicis International Award in New York. Mr. Goldberg is a full-scholarship recipient from the Juilliard School, the Manhattan School of Music, the Peabody Conservatory, and Tel Aviv University.
