Protégé of legendary pianists Richard Goode and Emanuel Ax, Ran Dank gained international stature for his “impeccable technical surety, explosive force, and triumphant exultation” (The Washington Post). “A strong player with technique and Imagination” (The New York Times), this Israeli-born artist was awarded honors at the Cleveland International Competition, the Naumburg Piano Competition, the Sydney International Piano Competition, and the Hilton Head International Piano Competition. An ardent advocate for contemporary music, he has given celebrated performances of works by Frederic Rzewski, William Bolcom, Marc-André Hamelin, and Alexander Goehr, among others.
