Pnina Salzman

Pnina Salzman

Pnina Salzman (b. February 24 1922, Tel Aviv, Palestine - d. December 16 2006, Tel Aviv, Israel) was an Israeli classical pianist and piano pedagogue.

Salzman showed an early aptitude for the piano, and gave her first recital at the age of eight. The French pianist and teacher, Alfred Cortot, heard her play in 1932 and invited her to Paris to study. She became a pupil of Magda Tagliaferro at the Conservatoire de Paris, where she was to win the Prix de Piano in 1936, aged 14.

It was through the violinist Bronislaw Huberman that she first developed a lifelong association with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, which Huberman had founded.

In 1963 she became the first Israeli to be invited to play in the USSR and in 1994, the first Israeli pianist invited to play in China. Besides performing as a soloist, she was a member of the Israel Piano Quartet.

She was a Professor and the head of the piano department at Tel Aviv University and served on the jury of many piano competitions, including the Arthur Rubinstein and Vladimir Horowitz competitions. She taught piano to many students, including Dror Elimelech and Elisha Abas.
