Shoshannah is a composer/pianist, educator, percussionist, and recording artist whose work has led her from concert halls to multi-media events such as dance, theater, TV, radio and film. Her mission is to bring G-d's unity, peace, and compassion to the world through music.
A recognized child prodigy, Shoshannah began composing and improvising on the piano at age six. By the time she was nine, Shoshannah was winning piano competitions and solo performing continually, including performances at Carnegie Recital Hall, Camay Hall, and Steinway Hall.
Shoshannah went on to win major piano competitions for seven consecutive years, and seemed destined to become a serious concert pianist. Unknown to her teacher, however, Shoshannah had never stopped composing and improvising her own music. Her irrepressible creativity and diverse musical interests would soon inspire her to follow a unique musical path.
That path would lead Shoshannah to the California Institute of the Arts, where she studied with Leonid Hambro, Mel Powell, Morton Sobotnik, and other acclaimed composers and pianists. At the university, Shoshannah immersed herself in classical, world, and avant garde music, and further developed her improvisational technique. While still a student, she pioneered Cal Art's Creative Improvisation Piano Program, and was given charge of the Secondary Piano department.
After college, Shoshannah began touring extensively throughout Israel, Switzerland, and the United States, exploring her love of different musical traditions. Performing on piano, synthesizer, and percussion, she appeared with a wide range of masterful musicians, including David Darling, Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, Glen Velez, Giora Fiedman, and Baba Olitunji.
Settling in New York City, Shoshannah continued to compose, perform, teach piano, and produce commissioned works for dance and theater. She appeared in concert at such well-known venues as Lincoln Center, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, and the United Nations. During this time, Shoshannah created her first piano solo release, "Sanctuary," a deeply evocative and healing solo piano work that explores the full range of human emotion with sweeping power and delicacy.
Years later, Shoshannah moved to Jerusalem and experienced a profound spiritual opening that transformed both her life and music. From that point on, G-d became the singular inspiration and focus of her creativity. She became the vessel through which Divine love flowed through as music.
Effortlessly, Shoshannah's music began to change. It became simple and pure, flowing with a grace and gentleness filled with light. Her second piano album, "Gifts From Heaven," fills the listener with a mystical sweetness that opens the heart to receive G-d's loving gifts for each one of us. The solo piano CD and cassette release was inspired by the composer's experience in the Holy Land.
Today, Shoshannah shares her time between Jerusalem and New York. Her latest solo piano recording, "River Of Light," has been described as "rhapsodic, joyous and flowing, like an unending river of life force." Its gentle, uplifting momentum invites the listener to become a partner in creation, revealing the Divine Presence in our every action and relationship.
