Biography
Related to Felix Mendelssohn, Eyran was born in Israel and was
first taught by Aida Barenboim, mother and teacher of famed
pianist/conductor Daniel Barenboim. He went on to complete his
music education at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston,
where he trained with Ran Blake, Paul Bley, Fred Hersch, Danilo
Perez, George Russell and Gunther Schuller.
Since 1996, Eyran has held a faculty position at the New
England Conservatory of Music (NEC) Preparatory School and
School of Continuing Education in Boston.
Eyran has received the ASCAP Plus Award for the years
2002-08.
In addition to solo touring, Eyran is also collaborating with
Russian classical pianist Andrei Ivanovitch.
In 2009, he has released his tenth solo album, titled 88
Fingers, with a concert tour that included venues in the U.S.,
Europe and the Middle East.
Eyran’s recordings have been reviewed by jazz publication All About
Jazz, which stated in a review: "88 Fingers is truly a
virtuoso's work. Perhaps Katsenelenbogen is most in league with
[Art] Tatum for this fact: he sets the bar towards which other
pianists must strive."[1] [1]
