Praised as “intrepid” (Philadelphia Inquirer), “engaging” (Houston Chronicle), and “endlessly fascinating” (WQXR New York), pianist Michael Mizrahi has won acclaim for his compelling performances of a wide-ranging repertoire and his ability to connect with audiences of all ages. He is the Frank C. Shattuck Professor of Music at the Lawrence University Conservatory of Music in Appleton.

Mr. Mizrahi has performed in the world’s leading concert halls including Carnegie Hall, Toyko’s Suntory Hall, Jordan Hall and the Gardner Museum in Boston, the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and the Chicago Cultural Center.

His celebrated albums The Bright Motion and Currents, both albums of new solo piano works he commissioned, were released on the New Amsterdam Records label. His popular music videos have been lauded by NPR and New Yorker music critic Alex Ross. Mr. Mizrahi co-directs the New Music @ Lawrence concert series.

Mr. Mizrahi is also a member of Decoda, a chamber ensemble based in New York City. Drawing from his work with Decoda, he helped found Lawrence’s Music For All project that brings classical chamber music to children and underrepresented populations. Mr. Mizrahi is co-director of the prestigious Decoda Chamber Music Festival, which takes place at Lawrence University.
