Sharon Cohen

At what age did you begin playing a musical instrument?
5 years old

At what age did you understand that you wish to pursue a musical career?
Throughout my entire life I’ve kept asking and answering myself that I want to pursue a musical career.

What do you love to do off-stage?
I love pottering, Yoga and growing vegetables, as well as spending some quality time with family and soul mates.

Which kind of music would we find on your playlist?
I barely listen to recorded music. I enjoy the silence, and would listen to a specific piece only if I crave it.

What is the special significance of the IPO to you/Why did you want to be part of the IPO?
Once realizing the importance for me of living in Israel, I knew the only option to come back was if I got accepted to the orchestra.

Did you acquire any new skills during the pandemic?
I have learned how to grow vegetables at home!

How can we keep classical music and live performances relevant in the digital era?
One must remember that live music is an unreplaceable physical experience. We need to find a way to make concerts shorter and to present them in a personal way; connecting every program to our lives in every aspect – emotional, political, social etc.
