Eden Mastriani-Levi is an Israeli-American pianist, composer, and educator based in Atlanta, Georgia. Eden grew up in Israel and then in South Carolina’s Lowcountry, where his musical talent was first recognized under the Junior Jazz Foundation’s Rising Stars program. Through the organization, he gained valuable experience opening for acts such as Joey Alexander, Deana Martin, Joe Gransden, and Jane Monheit. During his last year of high school, he was encouraged to move with his family to Atlanta to begin pursuing a career in music. On his journey, Eden has amassed many different influences, such as Herbie Hancock, Duke Ellington, Stevie Wonder, and Benjamin Clementine. This, along with his unique upbringing, has made Eden an exciting, young performer to look out for.

A recent graduate of Georgia State University, Eden excelled academically as he played with the GSU Big Band, GSU Honors Combo, and Rialto Honors Combo, recording and arranging the album “Playing the Music of Roy Hargrove” with the latter. He studied with Dr. Gordon Vernick, Kevin Bales, and David Sánchez, learning from visiting guests such as Joe Farnsworth, Sean Jones, and Miguel Zenón, all while establishing a professional presence in Atlanta’s musical community. He has performed for venues and occasions such as the Rialto Center for the Arts, Spivey Hall, Eddie’s Attic, The Jazz Corner, The Velvet Note, the Atlanta Neighborhood Jazz Series, Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau’s Annual Meeting, Candler Park Festival, Inman Park Festival, MARTA’s music program “Artbound LIVE,” and the Jazz for All Ages Festival.

Eden currently teaches privately and publicly through clinics and programs for a wide range of ages and skill levels. He has worked with the Hilton Head Jazz Camp, Georgia State Summer Jazz Workshop, and Rialto Youth Jazz Orchestra—paying forward the incredible educational opportunities and experiences he received as a young musician.
