Tom Borrow piano

“Sensational…In a world teeming with gifted young pianists, Borrow stands out with a touch that’s both light and powerful, and supremely incandescent” The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

“The very definition of ‘one to watch’” International Piano.

In January 2019, Tom Borrow was called on to replace renowned pianist Khatia Buniatishvili in a series of 12 concerts with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. At only 36 hours’ notice, he performed Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G to sensational public and critical acclaim. Tom was further presented by the IPO in gala concerts in London and Mexico City, and they reinvited him for a second subscription series.

In December 2021, after his hugely-praised US debut with the Cleveland Orchestra, Musical America named Tom their ‘New Artist Of The Month’. Tom is a BBC New Generation Artist, and in July 2022, Tom made his debut at the BBC Proms, at the Royal Albert Hall, with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. He was presented with the prestigious Terence Judd-Hallé Orchestra Award in 2023. Across 2024 and ’25, he is Artist-In-Residence for the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra (OSESP), across two years including their 70th anniversary season, performing all the Beethoven concertos and more.

Born in Tel Aviv in 2000, Tom Borrow has performed as soloist with all major orchestras of his native country. Tom won every national piano competition in Israel, including first prize at the Israeli Radio & Jerusalem Symphony Young Artist Competition in Jerusalem, and three first prizes at the “Piano Forever” Competition in Ashdod (in three different age categories).

In a recent feature, Pianist Magazine wrote of Tom, “Ethereal and enchanting… rapid sensational rise… certainly claiming his place as one of the greats of tomorrow… a poetic player with a mesmerising coiled-spring stillness“.
