Pianist Orli Shaham is featured on Tonebase, the popular online piano platform for pianists and students.
Beginning July 22, 2024, Tonebase subscribers can participate in a "Community Challenge" to learn new music through tutorials and performances created by Tonebase artist Orli Shaham. The pianists will learn selections from Karen Tanaka's recently published The Adventures of Anya and share their performances with fellow Tonebase members. At the end of the challenge, participants can attend a special live VIP Zoom event with pianist Orli Shaham and composer Karen Tanaka on August 24th, at 11am PT. Visit Tonebase online for more details.
The Adventures of Anya was written for Shaham, and is a 22-movement work for solo piano that accompanies a children's story with beautiful illustrations by Tiphanie Beek. In a video series highlighting the work, Shaham narrates the story, performs the works, and gives a tutorial on how to play each movement.
Previously on Tonebase, Shaham presented a series of masterclasses on Mozart's piano sonatas (her recordings of all 18 sonatas by Mozart are available now), and a lecture-performance about Clara Schumann.
