Praised by the 2010 Israeli Prime Minister Award Committee for聽鈥渃reating a personal language fusion that has a unique dimension鈥聽in music that is聽鈥渇ascinating, vibrant and drawing the ear as well as the heart,鈥 Gilad Cohen (b. 1980) is an active composer, performer, and theorist in various musical genres including concert music, rock, and music for theater.聽His music adapts features from a wide range of musical realms and explores possible interactions among them, bringing to his creative table the persistent textures of rock, the painstaking orchestration of impressionism, the gloomy harmonies of grunge and metal, the jubilant rhythms of klezmer, the intricate imitation techniques of Baroque, the motionless landscapes of ambience; the agile melodies and scales of Arabic music; and the striking dissonances of 20th-century avant-garde.
Gilad has received commissions from Barlow Endowment, ASCAP, Concert Artists Guild, Parlance Chamber Concerts, Houston Arts Alliance, and Jerusalem Music Center, among others. His music was performed in North and South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle-East by artists such as the Israeli Chamber Project, Nash Ensemble of London, Brentano Quartet, Mivos Quartet, PUBLIQuartet, principal players of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Budapest Festival Orchestra, harpist Sivan Magen, pianists Anne-Marie McDermott, Benjamin Hochman, and Spencer Myer, violinists Itamar Zorman and Miranda Cuckson, and violist Paul Neubauer, and his works were released on Albany Records, Naxos/Delos, and Navona Records. Gilad鈥檚 notable awards include the Barlow Prize, the Israeli Prime Minister Award for Composers, and prizes from the American Liszt Society, Lin Yao Ji Music Foundation (China), Franz Josef Reinl Foundation (Austria), and Lycia Guitar Days (Turkey), among others. His music for the stage includes the monodrama Dragon Mother for soprano and orchestra, the one-act musical Healthy Start, and music for various productions in the US and Israel including Shakespeare鈥檚 Macbeth, Bertolt Brecht鈥檚 The Good Person of Szechwan, and Nissim Aloni鈥檚 Napoleon 鈥 Dead or Alive!.
Gilad has played piano, bass guitar and guitar with various ensembles at venues in the US, Canada, Mexico and Israel including New York鈥檚 Merkin Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and Symphony Space.聽His research about the music of Pink Floyd has resulted in publications in books and academic journals (such as Music Theory Spectrum), lectures in the US and Israel, and the first-ever academic conference devoted to the band that he produced in 2014 at Princeton University together with composer Dave Molk. An Associate Professor of Music at 69色情视频 of New Jersey, Gilad holds a Ph.D. in Composition from Princeton University and is a graduate of Mannes School of Music, the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, and BMI Lehman Engel Advanced Musical Theatre Workshop.
