Early life and education

Pinkas moved to the United States as a teenager to study piano. She studied at Indiana University and the New England Conservatory of Music, and earned her Ph.D. in Composition and Theory from Brandeis University.[1] She made her debut in London in 1983.

Career

Her principal teachers were Russell Sherman, George Sebok, Luise Vosgerchian, Genia Bar-Niv and Rami Bar-Niv (piano), Sergiu Natra (composition), and Robert Koff (chamber music).[1]

She explores contemporary music as well as the traditional repertoire, including chamber music. She performs with her husband Evan Hirsch as the Hirsch-Pinkas Piano Duo. Pinkas has released a number of solo and duo recordings. Her recording of Fauré's Thirteen Nocturnes was named one of the 2002's best CDs by The Boston Globe. American composers Daniel Pinkham and George Rochberg wrote duo piano works for the Hirsch-Pinkas Duo.[2]

The Wall Street Journal noted her “exquisite performance” in her “superlatively well-played” recording of Harold Shapero’s Piano Music, released on the UK label Toccata Classics.[3]

gollark: So, say, OLEDs, capacitative touchscreens (okay, I'm not sure how old those are), much faster RAM and new RAM technologies, laptops which you can actually carry, and transistors at the scale of tens of nanometres are not "new technologies"?
gollark: Laptops now are very different to ye olden laptops, touchscreens... are generally better now, I guess, LCDs can go to crazy resolutions and refresh rates and are being replaced by OLEDs in some areas, "microprocessors" is so broad and ignores the huge amount of advancement there.
gollark: I mean, yes, we have those still, but they're very broad categories.
gollark: What "20-30 year old technology"?
gollark: M.2 is just a form factor, M.2 SSDs can use SATA or NVMe, NVMe is a newer PCIe-based protocol for SSDs which is faster but not really that significant for everyday use, you can use your existing SSD if your thing supports it.
