Pablo Sabat is one of the most versatile and influential figures in the contemporary Latin American classical scene. A rare synthesis of orchestral leader and soloist, he has collaborated with world-renowned artists such as Gil Shaham, Joaquín Achúcarro, Andrei Gavrilov, Sarah Chang, Nicola Benedetti, and Valentina Lisitsa.

As Artistic Director of the National Youth Bicentennial Symphony Orchestra (OSNJB), Sabat has transformed the ensemble into a premier symphonic force. Under his baton, the orchestra has performed or premiered monumental works in Peru, including Mahler’s 2nd and 5th Symphonies, Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, and major scores by Bruckner and Strauss. His tenure is defined by artistic excellence and the high-level training of the next generation of professionals.

His leadership also extends to the revitalization of regional institutions. As Music Director of the Arequipa Symphony Orchestra (2012–2017), he rebuilt the ensemble’s professional standing, culminating in a historic complete Beethoven symphony cycle. Currently, Sabat is also the Artistic Director and conductor of the new Teresa Quesada Philharmonic Orchestra in Lima, and has led orchestras across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

His pianistic career is marked by historic milestones. In 2024, he concluded a long-planned project, becoming the first Peruvian pianist to perform the complete cycle of Beethoven’s 32 Piano Sonatas, presented by the Sociedad Filarmónica de Lima. In 2025, he further solidified his reputation as a "conductor-soloist" by performing and conducting the complete Beethoven Piano Concertos from the keyboard in a single evening—a feat of extraordinary musical endurance.

Sabat’s musical lineage is rooted in the highest 20th-century traditions. He holds Master of Music degrees with honors in both Piano and Conducting. His artistry was forged through intensive mentorship under the legendary Harold Farberman, and he carries forward the golden era of piano technique as a student of Ena Bronstein (a distinguished disciple of Claudio Arrau).

Based in Lima, Sabat continues to shape the cultural landscape as a Professor of Piano and Conducting at the National University of Music of Peru.
