Tali Roth has been hailed by Classical Guitar magazine as "an extraordinary chamber and solo musician."

Since her Carnegie Hall debut with the Juilliard Orchestra, she has performed as a soloist throughout the United States, Europe, Latin America, and her native Israel, appearing in such venues as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall (with violinist Midori), the Caramoor Center, the Aspen Music Festival, the Tel Aviv Henry Crown Hall, and Teatro Presidente in San Salvador with the El Salvador National Symphony Orchestra.

In addition to her solo recitals, Ms. Roth has performed in a variety of settings -- as an ensemble player, on live television and radio in the U.S. and abroad, on stage in the New York Off-Broadway musical production of Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott's The Odyssey, by invitation for the U.N. in Washington, and for dignitaries such as former Prime Minister Shimon Peres, Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and General Colin Powell.

Among her prizes and awards are Top Prize in all categories at the Twenty-Third Masterplayers Music and Conductors Competition in Switzerland, First Prize in the Israeli National Guitarist Competition, and the New York Artist International Competition Award.

Ms. Roth studied with Joseph Urshalmi at the Jerusalem Rubin Academy and subsequently with Sharon Isbin at the Juilliard School, where she earned her Master of Music degree. She has also attended the Accademia Chigiana in Sienna, Italy and the Cologne Academy in Germany, studying under Oscar Ghiglia and Hubert Käppel, respectively.

Tali Roth is the guitar teacher on the faculty of the Juilliard School's Pre College Division. She is also a faculty member of NYU and The American Institute of Guitar. In addition, she has presented master classes in the United States and Latin America and has taught at The Aspen Music Festival.

Tali on Tali

"For me, music is a process of discovery. Discovering new ideas in the music of old masters like J.S. Bach. Finding the timeless beauty in works of modern composers like Villa-Lobos and Barrios. Becoming aware of the complexity and depth in music by artists like Piazzolla, who may be just on the other side of the walls we tend to place around classical music."

"I love performing -- it gives me the joy of sharing my musical discoveries with an audience. But the joy of discovery is there for all of us, performers and listeners alike, if our ears, our minds, and our hearts are open to music."

Tali's Repertoire

Tali Roth's repertoire ranges from Baroque composers, such as J.S. Bach, to the contemporary, such as Leo Brouwer. Her emotive style is particularly suited to the works of Granados, Albeniz, and other Spanish romantics and their Latin American counterparts, such as Villa-Lobos and Barrios. Ms. Roth often invites other artists to collaborate with her in chamber groups, premiers of new works, and in novel combinations, such as performances with dancers and singers. Her arrangements include adaptations to guitar of non-traditional styles, such as the tango nuevo of Astor Piazzolla.
