Talgam’s international conducting debut took place in 1987,
when he was chosen to conduct the Orchestre de Paris, with Leonard Bernstein
himself conducting the second half of that same concert. Talgam has conducted
many orchestras in Europe and the United States and has conducted and recorded
with all of Israel’s major orchestras, including the Israel Philharmonic
Orchestra, the Israeli Opera, Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, and the Israel Chamber
Orchestra. Talgam created the Maestro Program of seminars and workshops to help
everyday people develop a musician’s sense of collaboration and a conductor’s
sense of leadership.
