A champion of the music of Israel's leading composer Paul Ben-Haim (1897-1984) in the past decade, as a performer and recording artist, Gila has recorded two volumes of his works on the Centaur label  Piano Works by Paul Ben-Haim  (released in June 2001) and  Ben-Haim, 2nd Volume: Piano and Chamber Works  (released in November 2005). These recordings received rave reviews in major publications worldwide. They mark a significant addition to the few commercial releases of Israeli classical music and therefore meaningful for the understanding of this genre and for increasing its international recognition. These are also an important contribution to the discography of 20th century piano and chamber music literature in general.

Gila is the Artistic Director of the Trail Mix Concert Series  in West Shokan (Catskill Mountains), NY.

She holds a Master of Music from the   Manhattan School of Music where she studied with Mrs. Nina Svetlanova and a Bachelor of Music from the Tel-Aviv University's Academy of Music, where her teacher was Prof. Victor Derevianko.
