Timeline
In 2016, Kahane was appointed Music Director of the Sarasota Music Festival, a program of Sarasota Orchestra. In his tenure as Music Director, Kahane plans "to preserve all the great things about it and experiment and tweak things here and there." Under Kahane's direction, the Festival has featured the ensemble yMusic, as well as premieres of commissioned works by composers Robert Sirota and Andrea Clearfield. Kahane has plans to incorporate music by more female and young composers in future Festivals, in addition to offering a wider range of repertoire and commissioning more new works.
In April 2014, Kahane announced that he would step down after the 2016-17 season, after which will officially assume the title of Music Director Laureate.. His twenty-year-long tenure will be the longest of any Music Director in the orchestra's history
During the 2005–06 concert season, he performed all 23 of the Mozart piano concertos as part of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra's celebration of the 250th anniversary of the composer's birth.
Kahane became music director of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra in 2005. His initial contract was for three years. In 2008, Kahane extended his Colorado Symphony contract through 2012. However, in July 2008, Kahane announced his resignation from the orchestra at the end of the 2009–10 season. Kahane said that severe hypertension in 2007, which caused him to cancel several weeks of concerts in both Colorado and Los Angeles, led to his decision to concentrate more on his solo piano career:
"The thing I myself am most proud of", Kahane said in 2004, "is that in the nine years that I've been music director between the two orchestras [Los Angeles and Santa Rosa], with two exceptions, I have conducted every single children's concert, youth concert, family concert and neighborhood concert that either of those two orchestras has done."
In the summer of 2003 Kahane performed all five Beethoven piano concertos with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra over two consecutive nights at the Hollywood Bowl. He repeated the cycle at Ravinia with the Chicago Symphony in the summer of 2004.
Kahane has been music director of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra since 1997, succeeding Iona Brown. In 2008, his contract was extended through the 2011–12 season.
In 1995, Kahane became music director of the Santa Rosa Symphony. He held the post until the end of the 2005–06 season, after which he was given the title of Conductor Laureate.
In 1991, Kahane co-founded the Gardner Chamber Orchestra at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, an ensemble of outstanding students and recent graduates of the major schools of music in the Boston area. He served as artistic director and conductor from 1991 to 1995.
Kahane made his conducting debut at the Oregon Bach Festival in 1988, conducting a Mozart concerto from the keyboard. He has often returned to the festival as both pianist and conductor.
Kahane made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1983 at an Arthur Rubinstein Tribute Concert, and his London debut in 1985. In 1983 he won an Avery Fisher Career Grant, and in 1987 the first Andrew Wolf Chamber Music Award.
At the age of 24, Kahane entered the prestigious Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 1981 and won fourth place. "I was amazed just to get in", Kahane said. "By the end, I was in an altered state. It really changed my life." Kahane received additional exposure because PBS broadcast the competition's finals round. Two years later, he won the Grand Prize in the Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Competition in Israel.
After his sophomore year of high school, Kahane entered the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. He studied piano and conducting, and graduated in 1977. While in San Francisco, he played keyboard instruments in the San Francisco Symphony, explored jazz, and played in the pit for a touring Broadway musical.
