Omer Klein

Omer Klein is a pianist and composer whose music is celebrated for its “borderless” (New York Times) quality, “[pushing] mainstream Jazz concepts into the future” (Time Out New York). As an exclusive Warner Music artist, he has released 10 albums, with over 100 original compositions. His notable works include Sleepwalkers, which won the 2018 ECHO award, and Personal Belongings, featuring his solo piano and trio arrangements. In 2023, Klein marked his trio’s 10th anniversary with the album Life & Fire, and premiered his first symphonic project, showcasing his compositions for trio and orchestra.

The Omer Klein Trio, formed in 2013 with bassist Haggai Cohen Milo and drummer Amir Bresler, is known for its extensive touring and the album Fearless Friday, hailed as a significant piano trio release. Klein’s collaborations extend from contemporary artists such as Silvan Strauß to renowned classical musicians like mandolinist Avi Avital, the Aris Quartett.

Born in Israel in 1982, Klein began playing keyboard instruments at age 5 and focused on the piano at 13. He studied at prestigious institutions and moved to the US on a scholarship before settling in Germany in 2009. A Steinway Artist, Klein resides in Frankfurt with his family.

Looking ahead, Klein will be the Jazz Artist in Residence at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt during the 2024/2025 season. He will premiere his new Sextet, host the “Late Night X” series, and debut his song cycle Ever So Lightly at the Deutsches Jazzfestival, featuring singer Becca Stevens and the hr-Bigband. Klein’s artistry continues to evolve, earning him recognition as one of the most fascinating artists of the decade.
