Matan Porat

Matan Porat is an Israeli-born pianist and composer whose clever fingers dance between classical mastery and contemporary curiosity. Known for his sharp interpretations and collaborative spirit, this Juilliard-trained artist treats the piano like a playground – whether he’s reviving Rameau’s Baroque elegance, wrestling with Shostakovich’s quirky rhythms, or crafting fresh dialogues in projects like his original *Dances for Zoe*. His recent releases showcase his magpie mindset: he’ll swing from Schumann’s Romantic *Carnaval* to Kodály’s cello-driven intensity, then zap listeners with modernist sparks in Charles Ives’ violin sonatas. Whether solo or teaming up with chamber music allies, Porat’s work always carries a twinkle of reinvention, making 18th-century sarabandes feel as alive as yesterday’s coffee stain on a score.
