Guy has been on Avishai’s radar for a few years, and at 26 years old he has already established himself as one of the most in-demand pianists and composers of his young generation in both Israel and New York City. Roni Kaspi, born in Israel in July 2000, recently graduated for Berklee College of Music, USA. During the lockdown early in 2022, she met Avishai Cohen, with whom she performed virtually on Facebook. This distant interaction immediately developed into a strong musical connection, which led to her being invited to partner Avishai on tour from September 2020.
