Tom Borrow

Pianist Tom Borrow earned sensational public and critical acclaim in 2019 when, with only 36 hours’ notice, he replaced pianist Khatia Buniatishvili in a series of 12 concerts performing Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G on tour with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.

Since then, Tom has been invited by many of the world’s major orchestras, including the London Philharmonic, BBC Symphony, Royal Philharmonic, Hallé Orchestra, Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI, Czech Philharmonic, Basque National Orchestra, Danish National Symphony, NHK Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Baltimore, St. Louis, Atlanta, New Jersey and Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestras, among others. Leading conductors inviting Tom include Bychkov, Luisi, Eschenbach, Petrenko, Fischer, Oramo, Zhang, Denève, Saraste, Suzuki, Wellber, Treviño and Elder.

Equally in demand in recital, he has appeared at the BBC Proms, Verbier and Ruhr Festivals, Wigmore Hall, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Berlin Konzerthaus, Vienna Konzerthaus and Vancouver Recital Society. In summer 2025, Tom made his Aspen Music Festival debut.

Tom’s 2026-27 season includes debut recitals with Cal Performances Berkeley and the Gilmore Piano Festival; chamber music in the Seattle Chamber Music Society’s Winter Festival; and concerto appearances with the Dallas and Atlanta Symphony Orchestras.

Following recognition as a recent BBC New Generation Artist, and by International Piano and Gramophone magazines and Musical America, Tom was later presented with the prestigious Terence Judd-Hallé Orchestra Award in 2023.

Across 2024-25, he was Artist-In-Residence for the São Paulo Symphony (OSESP), in their 70th Anniversary season, and was subsequently named to a third artist residency of his career for 2025-26 with the Filarmonica Arturo Toscanini in its 50th Anniversary season.

Born in Tel Aviv in 2000, Tom Borrow began studying piano at age five. A protégé of Murray Perahia, Tom has performed as soloist with all the major orchestras of his native country.
