Timeline

1956

Jeffrey Alan Kahane (born September 12, 1956) is an American classical concert pianist and conductor.

He was music director of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra for 20 years, the longest of any music director in the orchestra's history.

He is the music director of the Sarasota Music Festival, a program of the Sarasota Orchestra, music director-designate of the San Antonio Philharmonic, and a professor of keyboard studies (Piano) at the USC Thornton School of Music in Los Angeles, California.

Kahane grew up in West Los Angeles, and began studying piano at age five, and at age 10 began learning to play the guitar.

For the next few years, he split his time between his piano studies and playing folk and rock music on the guitar.

At age 14, he was accepted as a scholarship pupil by the Polish-born pianist Jakob Gimpel.

"I was completely transformed by the contact with him", Kahane said.

"There was something that I got from Brahms and Beethoven and Bach that I couldn't live without. And I wanted to make a contribution to keeping it vital and alive."

After his sophomore year of high school, Kahane entered the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

1977

He studied piano and conducting, and graduated in 1977.

While in San Francisco, he played keyboard instruments in the San Francisco Symphony, explored jazz, and played in the pit for a touring Broadway musical.

Kahane later earned a Master of Arts degree in classics from the University of Colorado Boulder.

1981

At the age of 24, Kahane entered the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 1981 and won fourth place.

Kahane received additional exposure because PBS broadcast the competition's finals round.

Two years later, he won the Grand Prize in the Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Competition in Israel.

1983

Kahane made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1983 at an Arthur Rubinstein Tribute Concert, and his London debut in 1985.

In 1983 he won an Avery Fisher Career Grant, and in 1987 the first Andrew Wolf Chamber Music Award.

He has made numerous solo appearances in recital and with major orchestras around the world, including New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Rotterdam Philharmonic, Israel Philharmonic and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra.

In addition, he has become a favored recital accompanist for Yo-Yo Ma, Dawn Upshaw, Joshua Bell, and Thomas Quasthoff, and he often appears with leading chamber ensembles such as the Emerson String Quartet.

1988

Kahane made his conducting debut at the Oregon Bach Festival in 1988, conducting a Mozart concerto from the keyboard.

He has often returned to the festival as both pianist and conductor.

1991

In 1991, Kahane co-founded the Gardner Chamber Orchestra at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, an ensemble of outstanding students and recent graduates of the major schools of music in the Boston area.

He served as artistic director and conductor from 1991 to 1995.

1995

In 1995, Kahane became music director of the Santa Rosa Symphony.

1997

Kahane has been music director of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra since 1997, succeeding Iona Brown.

2003

In the summer of 2003 Kahane performed all five Beethoven piano concertos with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra over two consecutive nights at the Hollywood Bowl.

2004

He repeated the cycle at Ravinia with the Chicago Symphony in the summer of 2004.

2005

During the 2005–2006 concert season, he performed all 23 of the Mozart piano concertos as part of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra's celebration of the 250th anniversary of the composer's birth.

He held the post until the end of the 2005–06 season, after which he was given the title of conductor laureate.

Under Kahane's leadership, the subscriber base increased almost twofold and artistic standards improved.

"My tenure with the Santa Rosa Symphony has been the most fulfilling and exciting years of my musical life", Kahane said.

"As I move forward, I know that nothing I ever do will mean more to me than the privilege of working with these amazing and dedicated musicians and making music with them for this exceptionally passionate and committed audience."

2008

In 2008, his contract was extended through the 2011–12 season.

According to critic David Mermelstein:

"Kahane's taste in new music doesn't appeal to everyone. Some critics find his idea of "modern" too conservative, and LACO's older subscribers have been known to grumble about even "safe" choices. Of course, pleasing everyone all the time isn't music making; it's pandering. On balance, Kahane does a laudable job of giving concert goers a healthy mix of the familiar and the slightly daring. His ability to land major soloists, however, is beyond reproach. Such celebrated performers as Hilary Hahn, Thomas Quasthoff, Lang Lang, Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, and Daniel Hope have appeared with LACO in recent years, and next season promises first appearances by Cho-liang Lin and Peter Serkin.

But Kahane's achievement at LACO has nothing to do with enriching the musical canon or lassoing big names.

It is instead the story of a modest musician who through patience and perhaps a little guile restored dignity to a group of dispirited players.

He made them feel their music making mattered, and now others do, too.

"We're certainly not the only place in America where musicians are happy", says the conductor, "but the combination of that attitude with this level of playing is very rare.""

2014

In April 2014, Kahane announced that he would step down after the 2016-17 season, after which will officially assume the title of Music Director Laureate..
