Information: Klarman began his musical studies on the piano and violin at the ages of 5 and 6 respectively, soon after which he started composing his own music. He commenced piano study with Angel Ramon Rivera at the Rivers School Conservatory at age 7 and composition study with Rodney Lister at NEC’s Preperatory School age 11. Klarman played violin in the Rivers School Conservatory’s Youth Philharmonia from 2002-2005 and NEC prep’s Repertory Orchestra from 2008-2009. He currently attends Gann Academy — The New Jewish High School of Greater Boston. He plays the piano in chamber groups at NEC prep and Greenwood music camp, as well as hand percussion with Gann Academy’s jazz band. In addition to his accomplishments as a classical composer, Klarman has written Jewish-themed choral, pop and liturgical music since 2008. Joshua R. Jacobson, the director of the Zamir Chorale of Boston, commissioned him to write Hallel, Shir V’or in 2009. Upon hearing this performance, the Jewish Ideas Daily raved that Klarman's music culminated “in a room-rocking, soul-lifting Halleluyah!” (Feb 13, 2010). Cantor Elias Rosemberg commissioned him to write Kol Haamim for the 75th anniversary of Temple Emanuel in Newton, MA. In December 2010, Klarman’s works will be featured in Shalshelet’s Jewish Liturgical Music: the Next Generation festival in New York, NY. More information about this festival is at www.shalshelet.org.
