Alona Milner (1996) started playing the piano at the Givatayim Conservatory when she was 10 years old. Graduated from the Telma Yellin High School of Arts and served as an “outstanding musician” in the IDF. She graduated with her bachelors from the Buchmann-Mehta School of Music with the guidance of Tomer Lev in Tel Aviv University, where she continues to study towards her masters.
In 2020, she won the 2nd prize in the Piano “Katz” competition and a prize for playing the mandatory piece in the Clairmont competition. She played a recital in the Arthur Rubinstein Virtual recitals and was chosen to be a young jury in the up coming competition.
Alona has been privileged in recent years to have masterclasses with world-acclaimed artists and professors such as Alexander Korsantia, Yoheved Kaplinsky, Joseph Kalichstein, Ilja Scheps, Pascal Nemirovski, Michel Beroff, Fabio Bidini, Julian Martin, Pavlina Dokovska and Murray Perahia for whom she is very fortunate to play several times a year.

During the 2020 Covid19 crisis, Alona worked alongside a group of Israeli pianists led by Dr. Michal Meow. Together they founded PianoWebFest – an international online festival featuring lectures and piano masterclasses.
