Boris Malkovsky is a composer, pianist, and bayan (button accordion) player based in Israel.

Boris released the impressive Time Petah Tiqva album on John Zorns Tzadik imprint in 2007. The piece, which mixes Jewish traditional themes and jazz improvisation with Gypsy and classical motifs, was originally commissioned by the Tel Aviv Chamber Music Ensemble for members of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra to perform at a wedding celebration.
