Born and raised in Tel-Aviv, Israel, Itay Talgam discovered his passion for music at a young age. Talgam began as a pianist and fell in love with music following the influence of his parents. After military service and a diploma from the Jerusalem Rubin Academy of Music and Dance, Talgam attended a summer course given by Maestro Leonard Bernstein in 1987. This not only impacted his career as a conductor, but also inspired him to pursue his own passions.
Talgam’s debut as an internationally recognized conductor occurred when Leonard Bernstein chose Talgam to perform in a special concert with the Orchestre de Paris. He was an instant success, and soon enough he went on to conduct major orchestras throughout Europe and Israel. Aside from his success as a conductor, Talgam considers himself a “conductor of the people” and seeks to help others by using aspects of music as a metaphor for collaboration, leadership, motivation, and harmony. Today, Itay Talgam continues to inspire thousands of individuals whether his dialogue is heard at leadership demonstrations to Fortune 500 companies, universities and nonprofits, or enjoyed online by millions of viewers.
