Misha Dichter (born September 27, 1945) is a classical pianist who was born in Shanghai, Mainland China, where his Polish parents had fled early in World War II. When he was two years old, his family immigrated to Los Angeles, California, where he began studying piano at the age of five.
While studying at The Juilliard School, Misha Dichter won the Silver medal at the 1966 International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, an accomplishment which launched his musical career. While at Juilliard, he met Cipa, whom he subsequently married. Together, they are an accomplished piano duo. Misha has recorded many difficult pieces, including Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies and Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. The Dichters live in New York City.
