Avery Fisher Career Grant Winner: Benjamin Hochman
Posted: November 7th, 2011

Since 1976, more than 121 talented young musicians have been recognized with the Avery Fisher Career Grant Awards. These Grants of $25,000 give professional assistance and recognition to talented instrumentalists who the Recommendation Board and Executive Committee believe have great potential for solo careers. At the announcement in March at the Kaplan Penthouse in Lincoln Center, this year’s three recipients played for their honored guests.  In this SundayArts Profile, we are treated to an excerpt from Chopin’s Polonaise Fantasy, Opus 61, performed by Avery Fisher Career Grant winner Benjamin Hochman. The talented artist has appeared with the New York Philharmonic and the Israel Philharmonic as well as the Chicago, Cincinnati, New Jersey and Pittsburgh Symphonies.
