Ariela Bohrod

Ariela Bohrod began piano lessons at the age of four in her hometown of Madison, Wisconsin, continued her high school studies at Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan, and moved to New York City in 2013 to study with Pavlina Dokovska at Mannes College the New School for Music, where both her undergraduate and graduate degrees in Piano Performance were completed with full-tuition merit scholarships. Her training, coupled with the benevolence of others and a lot of good luck, have granted her concerts in Europe, Asia, and throughout the United States. While her musical diet is filled with a wide range of repertoire, her true love is repertoire composed between the early twentieth century and the present day — a musical landscape that, for her, transcends the mundane and rises to the ethereal. After a nearly two-year hiatus from land while performing aboard cruise ships with Lincoln Center Stage, she is thrilled and honored to be studying under Suzana Bartal at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris “Alfred Cortot”, and to be a Harriet Hale Woolley scholar alongside such brilliant young artists. Aside from music, she enjoys writing, making clothes, and going on grand hiking adventures.
