Liat Cohen - Guitarist

Taklit is proud to associate its work with guitarist Liat Cohen whose initiative of commissioning new pieces from composers around the world exposes and perpetuates rare and unique musical cultures through the creation of new works for the guitar.

According to musicologist Yehoshua Hirshberg, Liat Cohen is one of the true virtuoso guitarists continuing the great tradition established by the legendary Andre Segovia, of transforming the intimate guitar into a magnificent solo instrument, projecting over large concert auditoriums while maintaining the warm and gentle nuances of the instrument.

Singled out as one of the most important guitarists in the world today by French Guitarist magazine and designated ‘virtuoso of poignant, delicate sound’ by Guitare Magazine, Liat is the first classical guitarist ever to receive the prestigious Nadia and Lili Boulanger Prize awarded by the Foundation of France.

Liat Cohen’s work has focused on Eastern European techniques, as well as the development and publication of new works for guitar. Her credentials include concert diplomas and First Prizes from the Schola Cantorum and the Conservatory of the City of Paris, both awarded unanimously with Honorable Mentions.

She is a Laureate of the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris and the winner of international competitions of Rome and Paris.
