Dr. Aviram Freiberg – Horn Player, Singer, Composer, and Scholar
Dr. Aviram Freiberg is an Israeli multifaceted musician — horn player, singer, composer, pedagogue, researcher, and entrepreneur. He holds a B.Mus. in Horn Performance from the New England Conservatory in Boston, an M.A. in Musicology from Bar-Ilan University, and a Ph.D. in Musicology from the University of Haifa.
For more than two decades, Aviram served as a horn player in leading Israeli orchestras. As a vocalist, he has performed widely in recitals, operas, and concerts, collaborating with choirs, orchestras, and ensembles.
As a composer, Aviram’s primary focus is opera. Four of his operas have been performed, including at the prestigious Kfar Blum Music Festival (2008). His latest opera, The House of Bernarda Alba—based on Lorca’s celebrated play—was produced in 2023. His works have been performed and recorded by major ensembles: the Netanya-Kibbutz Orchestra recorded selections of his music in 2018; the Israeli Sinfonietta Be’er-Sheva premiered his Three Short Pieces for Chamber Orchestra in 2024; and in 2025, his Sinfonietta will be premiered at a Carnegie Hall gala concert. Beyond opera, Aviram composes chamber, symphonic, and choral music, as well as musical theatre works.
Aviram is also the co-founder of Opera–Tsafon, a center dedicated to the creation and promotion of contemporary Israeli opera in northern Israel.
