Pianist Philip Solomonick achieved remarkable success in his youth securing numerous awards such as the prestigious 'Grand Prix' at the Art towards the 21st Century Competition in Ukraine, and first prizes at the Chopin competition in Tel-Aviv, and The Pnina Zaltzman Competition. His bachelor’s, and master’s degrees are from the Music Academy in Jerusalem.

Before moving to the US, Solomonick made his debut at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie, and was a semi-finalist at the NYCA Worldwide Debut Audition.
