Omer Klein is a jazz pianist and composer born in Israel in 1982. From an early age he demonstrated an exceptional talent for music, receiving classical training and developing an interest in jazz during his adolescence. He studied at the New England Conservatory in Boston, honing his technique and understanding of musical language, and then moved to New York, where he studied with Fred Hersch and established his reputation on the international jazz scene.

His music is a unique fusion of jazz, ethnic influences and Jewish musical traditions: a mix that reflects his diverse background and wide range of musical interests. His piano technique is virtuosic, but it is his ability to communicate deep emotions and his creativity in improvisation that distinguish him as a musician.

In his long career Kelin has released 10 albums, some of them as a trio with bassist Haggai Cohen-Milo and drummer Amir Bresler. His music has been acclaimed by critics for its originality and innovative spirit, so much so that in 2023 he received two nominations for the prestigious Deutscher Jazzpreis, in the categories of “Piano/keyboard” and “Live Act of the Year”.
