Aron Kallay Pianist and composer Dr. Aron Kallay has performed throughout the United States, as well as in the Czech Republic and Ukraine. His work has been heard internationally on the radio shows Music From Carnegie Mellon and The Global Village, and broadcast live over the internet from the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and the California Institute of the Arts.
A champion of contemporary composers, microtonal music, and music that combines electronics with acoustic instruments, Aron is dedicated to expanding the repertoire by commissioning and composing new works that challenge the idea of what it means to be a pianist in the 21st century. An ardent believer in interdisciplinary work, Aron has collaborated with visual artist Mores McWreath on the video installation The Bud, the Seed, the Egg, which premiered at the Roski Gallery in Los Angeles in 2008, and with composer Veronika Krausas and artist Quintan Ana Wikswo on Waterland, a piece for tape, narrator, and video, which premiered in June 2010 at the Musee des Moulages in Lyon, France.
Aron is co-director and co-founder of People Inside Electronics (PIE), a concert series for new and classic electro-acoustic music. He is on the faculty of the University of Southern California, where he received his Doctorate of Music Arts and studied with Daniel Pollack.
