Avi Schönfeld is a pianist and composer. Born in Lodz, Poland, he moved to Israel with his family at eleven and studied at the Academy of Music of Tel Aviv University with Ilona Vincze, who had studied with Bartók.
In 1972 a French Government scholarship took him to Paris, where he worked with Yvonne Lefébure, Vlado Perlemuter and Marcel Ciampi, and studied composition with Alexandre Tansman. In Maastricht he taught piano at the Conservatorium and founded the European Institute of Pianistic Research (EPRIM).
