American pianist Ariela Bohrod grew up in Madison, Wisconsin, and began piano studies at the age of four. She made her solo debut with the Madison Symphony Orchestra at twelve and has performed publicly since childhood. A graduate of the Interlochen Arts Academy, where she studied with Dr. Thomas Lymenstull, she went on to earn both her Bachelor and Master of Music degrees in Piano Performance from the Mannes School of Music at The New School, studying under Pavlina Dokovska on a full-tuition merit scholarship.

Ariela is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Steinway Award, Joseph Fidelman Memorial Award, Presser Scholar Award for musical and academic excellence, Marina Bondarenko Memorial Prize at the Tel-Hai Festival in Israel, and the Prix du Directeur at the Fontainebleau School in France. In 2025, she was named a winner of the Pro Musicis International Award and will make her recital debut at Salle Cortot during the 2026–27 season. She is also a Harriet Hale Woolley Scholar (2024–25) and a Resident Artist at the Fondation des États-Unis in Paris, where she is pursuing an Artist Diploma at the École Normale de Musique de Paris Alfred Cortot with Suzana Bartal.

Ariela has performed widely across Europe, Asia, and the United States, appearing in venues such as Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall and Stern Auditorium, the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the Gilmore International Piano Festival, and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s Beethoven Festival. Her performances have been featured on NPR’s From the Top, WQXR’s Young Artists Showcase, Detroit Public Radio, Interlochen Public Radio, and Wisconsin Public Radio.

Specializing in repertoire written between the early twentieth century and today, Ariela creates programs that form poetic and narrative links between works and eras. An active collaborator and educator, she has served on the accompaniment and teaching faculties of several New York music schools, where she is committed to sharing music with students of all generations and backgrounds. She is also music director and pianist for Lavender Songs, a stage production created and performed by Jeremy Lawrence, recently featured in Carnegie Hall’s Celebration of Weimar.

Her artistry is guided by a belief that music should transcend barriers—a philosophy reflected in her ongoing collaborations with composers and her dedication to performing works by underrepresented and living artists. Outside of music, Ariela enjoys reading, writing, and hiking.

He regularly studies with the eminent pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja and has further refined his artistic identity through the advanced postgraduate program « Diplôme d’Artiste Interprète » at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, where he is currently pursuing advanced training in pedagogy.

Having previously studied in Paris with pianists Bruno Rigutto and Hortense Cartier-Bresson, he also earned a Master’s degree at the Hochschule für Musik “Hanns Eisler” in Berlin, in the class of Eldar Nebolsin. He also receives guidance from eminent artists such as Janine Jansen, Tabea Zimmermann, Jean-Marc Luisada, Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, Kirill Gerstein, Pascal Devoyon, and Richard Goode.

Florent has toured Asia, performing in numerous concerts in China and Taiwan, including in Guangzhou, Macau, Taipei, and Taoyuan. He also gives a series of public masterclasses at the Macau Conservatory. As a soloist, he has been invited to perform with the Normandy Regional Orchestra and the Conservatory’s Laureates Orchestra.

Supported by the DAAD, ADAMI, Société Générale, and the Tokyo Foundation, he won First Prize and the Audience Prize at the Claude Bonneton International Piano Competition in 2017. He subsequently won 2nd Prize at the Nice Côte d’Azur International Piano Competition, and 3rd Prize as well as the Audience Prize at the Georges Cziffra International Competition.

Alongside his musical activities, Florent is also passionate about theater and studied Dramatic Arts at the Cours Simon and then at the Nadia and Lili Boulanger Conservatory in the 9th arrondissement. In 2017, he directed a performance based on Bernard-Marie Koltès’ monologue *The Night Just Before the Forests*, blending theater, dance, and improvised music. An artist-in-residence at the Cité internationale des arts since 2022, he is presenting his first solo exhibition there, entitled *hope you find your paradise*, which combines photography and music. For the 2025-2026 season, he is creating, alongside director Jean-Christophe Barbaud, the show *Beethoven: Intimate Sonatas*, as both musician and actor, supported by the Théâtre Municipal de Fontainebleau, as well as *The Soldier’s Tale* with Marie Oppert of the Comédie-Française.
