About
Abraham made his orchestral debut in Nicholas Hall following his success in the 2017 Rutgers Sinfonia Concerto Competition, performing Rachmaninoff’s Third Concerto with the Rutgers Sinfonia under the baton of Kynan Johns. Additionally, he was one of the featured pianists in the 2017 Rutgers University Annual Piano Gala concert at Carnegie Hall. Abraham is an alumnus of Brevard Music Center and Orford Musique, both of where he has appeared as soloist. During the 2016 season at Brevard, he advanced to the final round of the Jan and Beattie Wood Concerto Competition.
In 2023, he was selected as a finalist in the 2024 Orford Musique Award, having been invited for a 2024 residency program. A laureate in the inaugural WPTA International Piano Competition in Finland, he was invited to study with Elena Nesterenko in Iimar, Germany. He has had the distinct honor to perform for renowned artists including Marc-André Hamelin, Robert McDonald, Anton Nel, John O’Conor, Sofya Gulyak, Stewart Goodyear, Alan Feinberg, and Eric Zuber.
On top of his experience as a soloist, Abraham is an equally adept collaborator and active accompanist, working primarily with vocalists and vocal ensembles. He made his international debut in Singapore's Victoria Concert Hall when he was featured as a pianist in the ADDO Chamber Choir’s 2017 production of Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem. In 2023, he was invited by the Toronto-based Cantabile Chamber Singers as the featured accompanist for their fifteenth season finale.
In addition to performing, Abraham composes in his leisure, having co-managed and premiered his works with the Rutgers Undergraduate New Music Ensemble.
