Donald Berman is a champion of new works by living composers, overlooked music
by twentieth century masters, and recitals that link classical and modern repertoires.
His recent CDs "The Unknown Ives volumes 1 & 2," and "The Uncovered Ruggles" on
New World Records have been internationally acclaimed. He is the Artistic Director
for the American Academy in Rome Concert series in New York and subsequent four-volume CD
on Bridge Records. He has presented recitals, lectures, and masterclasses recently in
Israel, Italy, and throughout the United States. He has performed to critical
acclaim in New York City at Miller Theater, Zankel Hall, Merkin Hall, and Weill
Hall at Carnegie Hall. Other recent work has ranged from Mozart concertos with
the Columbus Symphony to American music retrospectives, to recitals linking Haydn
and Schubert with new music, called "thrillingly clear" (NYTimes). He is a
prizewinner of the 1991 Schubert International Competition and a member of the
Dinosaur Annex New Music Ensemble since 1987. Berman has been presented by
League/ISCM, Masters of Tomorrow in Germany, French Cultural Services
(Fauré Sesquicentennial), and many others. He has premiered concertos, solo
and ensemble works with many organizations including Collage, Real Art Ways,
