Music



Life

Lior Navok (b. 1971) has earned his place as one of the most innovative, fresh and communicative composers of the younger generation. His music, emerging from reflections on nature and humankind, bridges between the realistic and the mysterious, the conscious and unconscious. Described by the Boston Globe as "colorful, haunting, accomplished and exciting", Navok’s music takes listeners into revealing journeys through sound.

Played in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Navok’s music has been performed by orchestras and ensembles such as the Radio Philharmonie Hannover NDR, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Boston Modern Orchestra Project, The Tel Aviv Soloists, The Borromeo String Quartet, The Alcan String Quartet, Mexico City String Quartet, Raschèr Saxophone Quartet, Third-Rail Saxophone Quartet, The Silver-Garburg Piano Duo, Southern Cross Soloists, Akanthus Ensemble Berlin, Citywinds, Percadu, Ticom Ensemble, Florestan Recital Project, MIT wind Ensemble and Musica Nova. Among the many devoted performers one may find Sharon Kam, Chen Halevi, Sarah Bob and Anssi Karttunen.

Known for his passion to cooperate with artists from other disciplines, Navok has collaborated with choreographers Lucía Baumgartner (inFlux Dance Company), Alexandra Waierstall (Noema Dance Works) and visual artists Ling-Wen Tsai and Ohad Meromi. Upcoming collaborations include piano improvisations on poetry with poet D. Nurkse.

Mr. Navok received numerous awards. Recent ones include the Lili Boulanger Memorial Fund Award, Prime Minster Award, Massachusetts Cultural Council, and America-Israel Cultural Foundation. Fellowships and residencies include the Tanglewood Music Center, Cité Internationale des Arts, Aspen Music Festival and the MacDowell Colony. Recent commissions include the Koussevitzky Music Foundation, Fromm Music Foundation, Jerome Foundation, among many others.

2006/7 season includes premieres of Hope Cycles (commissioned for the Borromeo String Quartet), Arabesque (commissioned for the Tel Aviv Baroque Trio), Like a Whirling Sand-Clock for Chen Halevi (clarinet) and the Israel Contemporary Players, Spring Calls for soprano and ensemble (commissioned for Close Encounters with Music) and The Old Photo Box – a sixty-minute cycle of piano miniatures dedicated to twenty outstanding pianists worldwide.

Lior Navok has released two highly acclaimed CDs - Hidden Reflections and Meditations Over Shore - "The Music is dreamy and utterly gorgeous" (American Record Guide.) He received his Doctorate and Masters from the New England Conservatory where he studied composing with John Harbison and Double Bachelor’s Degree from the Rubin Academy of Music, Jerusalem, where he studied with Yinam Leef.
