Aviya Kopelman
Aviya Kopelman (Hebrew: אביה קופלמן; born in Moscow 1978) is an Israeli composer and pianist.
She is one of the youngest ever Israel Prime Minister Prize for Composition recipients and has served as composer-in-residence of the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra since 2013.
Kopelman's musical education started with piano lessons, and she is listed as a "notable alumna of Israel Arts and Science Academy," where she studied with Prof. Andre Hajdu, prof. Bat-Sheva Rubinstein and Prof. Michael Wolpe. She holds degrees in composition from Jerusalem Music and Dance Academy, Bar-Ilan University (MA Summa Cum Laude, PhD in progress). She was a lecturer at Hed College of Music from 2003–2007 and a senior lecturer, as well as an academic advisor and master-classes curator in Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music from 2006–2014. She gives lectures and courses in major educational institutions in Israel, including Jerusalem Music and Dance Academy, Buchmann-Mehta School of Music of Tel Aviv University, Haifa University, Levinsky College, Musrara College, Bar-Ilan University Music Department, Van Leer Jerusalem Institute.
As a Composer-in-Residence of the Jerusalem Symphony, Kopelman enlarged (at least doubled) and significantly widened the Israeli music repertoire performed by the orchestra, allowing many young composers and female composers to be performed by a professional symphony orchestra for the first time.
In 2019-2020, she was a recipient of two prestigious residencies: one was at the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life of the University of California, Berkeley, and the Israel Institute. The other one was six months residency in Cite Internationale des Arts, Paris.
