Born in 1975, Avner Dorman completed his Doctoral degree as a C.V. Starr fellow at the Juilliard School, where he studied with John Corigliano, and his Master’s degree at Tel Aviv University, where he majored in music, musicology, and physics and studied with former Soviet composer Josef Bardanashvili.
