She did not take up the flute until age 11, but after that, she made rapid progress, appearing with the Israel Philharmonic under conductor Zubin Mehta at 14. She played for the superstar flutist of the day, Jean-Pierre Rampal, who advised her to move to France for further study. There, she worked with Maurice Bourgue, Raymond Guiot, Alain Marion, and Aur\u00e8le Nicolet, learning the difficult circular breathing technique from the latter. At the invitation of conductor Sandor V\u00e9gh, she was engaged as principal flutist of the Camerata Academica Salzburg. Upon V\u00e9gh&#8217;s death in 1997, she decided to launch a solo career. Joining violinist Gidon Kremer&#8217;s Kremerata Baltica ensemble for a time, she began to find solo performance opportunities as she was signed to the BIS label and issued her recording debut, The Israeli Connection, in 1998. Bezaly married BIS executive Robert von Bahr and took up residence in Sweden.       <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d7f959 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1d7f959\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Becoming a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist for 2006-2008 marked a breakthrough in Bezaly&#8217;s career, as did a stint as the first-ever wind player artist-in-residence with the Residentie Orchestra in The Hague. She has performed with many of the world&#8217;s top orchestras, including the Minnesota Orchestra, the Gewandhaus Orchestra of Leipzig, and all of the BBC orchestras. She has appeared at such major venues as Wigmore Hall in London and Carnegie Hall in New York, where, in 2012, she gave the U.S. premiere of Jos\u00e9 Serebrier&#8217;s Flute Concerto under the composer&#8217;s baton. Bezaly has consistently included newly commissioned works in her concerts and on her recordings from composers, including Sofia Gubaidulina, Kalevi Aho, and Sally Beamish; those by Gubaidulina and Aho have entered the general flute repertory.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-109f085 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"109f085\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Bezaly has continued to record exclusively for BIS, amassing a catalog of some 40 albums by the early 2020s. Contemporary music is heavily represented among these, as are such novel releases as Across the Sea: Chinese-American Flute Concertos (2011). In 2020, her recording of Serebrier&#8217;s Flute Concerto with Tango appeared as part of a Serebrier collection on BIS. Bezaly plays a 24-carat Muramatsu gold flute from Japan.   <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a9c8ea8\" data-id=\"a9c8ea8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b4954d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3b4954d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jmc.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ezgif.com-webp-to-jpg-converter.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-32611\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jmc.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ezgif.com-webp-to-jpg-converter.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.jmc.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ezgif.com-webp-to-jpg-converter-257x300.jpg 257w, https:\/\/www.jmc.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ezgif.com-webp-to-jpg-converter-768x898.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sharon Bezaly Flutist Sharon Bezaly is among the world&#8217;s premier players of her instrument.
