Described as a “modern renaissance man” (Over the Mountain Journal), Grammy®-nominated pianist Aron Kallay has been praised for playing that is “exquisite… every sound sounded considered, alive, worthy of our wonder” (Los Angeles Times). His performances often integrate technology, video, and alternate tunings. Fanfare magazine called him “a multiple threat: a great pianist, brainy tech wizard, and visionary promoter of a new musical practice,” adding: “Kallay’s performance is that of a Liszt for the modern era, of a live electricity that is unforgettable.”

Aron performs throughout the United States and abroad and is a fixture on the Los Angeles new-music scene. He is the founder and artistic director of Brightwork newmusic, a nonprofit organization dedicated to curating and presenting cutting-edge new work.

He is on the faculty at Pomona College and Scripps College, and spends his free time with his family and cycling in the San Gabriel Mountains.
