About Gilad Hochman

Berlin-Based Israeli composer Gilad Hochman (*1982) was defined as “one of Israel’s most prominent composers” by the Deutschland Magazine and as “an already well known classical composer" by the BBC. Hochman's music reflects a clear aesthetic approach and a rare combination between tradition and innovation, while creating a well structured contemporary musical language – personal, lyrical and expressive. In his work, Hochman uniquely merge European classical music traditions and those relating to the Jewish culture and to his Israeli origin. Notable performances to his works include two retrospective concerts in Germany, in 2009 and in 2011. In 2013 Hochman had his orchestral debut concert at the Berlin Philharmonie and he was invited to lecture at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory. That year he was also featured on 2 CDs by German label ClassicClips.
