Born in Tel-Aviv (Israel) in 1971, Sharon Kam began playing several instruments at an early age, before settling on the clarinet. A student at New York's renowned Julliard School, she made her Carnegie Hall debut in 1988 under the baton of Zubin Mehta, and went on to win first prize at the Munich International Competition in 1992. With the doors to a career at the highest level open, she performed with the greatest American and European orchestras, and in recital with pianist Itamar Golan. Her repertoire spans the classical, romantic, modern and contemporary periods, and includes concertos and works by Mozart, Spohr, Weber, Mendelssohn, Rossini, Bruch, Gershwin, Copland, Bernstein and Penderecki, whose Clarinet Concerto she premiered in 1996. Twice awarded the ECHO Prize (1998 and 2006), Sharon Kam has released the album The Voice of the Clarinet (2010).
