Navah Miriam Perlman is a concert pianist and chamber musician. Her parents are violinists Toby and Itzhak Perlman.
Education and career
[edit]Perlman performed as a soloist with the Greater Miami Youth Symphony Orchestra in 1984, and the Los Angeles American Youth Symphony Orchestra in 1985.[2] and made her professional debut at age 15 with the Charleston West Virginia Symphony Orchestra in 1986.[3]
Perlman graduated from Brown University in 1992,[4] having switched her major from music to art. She also studied at Juilliard.[5]
In addition to her solo piano career, she frequently performs chamber music, including with violinist Philippe Quint and cellist Zuill Bailey as the Perlman/Quint/Bailey Trio.[6] She is the Artistic Director of LPS Pro Musica in Lake Placid, New York.
Personal life
[edit]At age 19, she began showing symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.[7] As of 2008, she and her husband Robert D. Frost have four children.[8]
In 2020, with live music performances cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Perlman began a career in cake baking. She launched her business, with the name Frosted by Navah, in December of that year, specialising in artistic designs such as buttercream flowers.[9][10] The business remains successful as of 2025, with demand consistently exceeding the rate at which Perlman produces the cakes.[11][12]
