"𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐑 𝐊𝐋𝐄𝐈𝐍 S SVOJO HITROSTJO, OBČUTKOM ZA DETAJL, PREFINJENOSTJO IN KREATIVNOSTJO KAŽE, DA PRIPADA MAJHNI SKUPINI MOJSTRSKIH PIANISTOV." – Süddeutsche Zeitung
Pianist in skladatelj Omer Klein ustvarja "brezmejno" glasbo (New York Times), ki organsko združuje raznolike vire navdiha in hkrati "potiska mainstream jazz v prihodnost" (Time Out New York). Klein, plodovit izvajalec in skladatelj, je izdal deset albumov kot solist in napisal več kot sto originalnih skladb.
Kot ekskluzivni umetnik Warner Music je za to založbo posnel že pet albumov.
Album Sleepwalkers (2017) je trio raziskovanje tem, povezanih z informacijsko dobo, za katerega je Omer Klein Trio leta 2018 prejel nagrado ECHO. Sledil je Radio Mediteran (2019), v katerem so analogni sintetizatorji in tolkala obogatili klasični trio format in ustvarili "zelo sodoben, napreden album, poln subtilnih ritmov in močnih melodij" (Hamburger Abendblatt). Njegov tretji album za Warner Music, Personal Belongings (2021), združuje solo klavirske in trio skladbe, med katerimi sta tudi priljubljena skladba Najara in Kleinova čustvena izvedba pesmi What A Wonderful World.
Leto 2023 je bilo eno njegovih najbolj ustvarjalnih. Izdal je svoj četrti album pri Warnerju, Life & Fire, ob 10-letnici svojega tria; ustvaril in izvajal glasbo za predstavo 10 Odd Emotions v Schauspiel Frankfurt; premierno izvedel svoj simfonični projekt s skladbami, aranžiranimi za trio in orkester ter ob koncu leta izdal peti album za Warner Music, intimen solo klavirski album Season Bright. Zaradi svojih aktivnosti leta 2023 je bil Klein nominiran za dve nagradi Deutscher Jazzpreis, v kategorijah "Piano/Keyboards" in "Live Act of the Year".
Kleinovi koncertni nastopi so deležni širokih pohval. Nastopal je kot solist, skladatelj in vodja zasedb na številnih prizoriščih, kot so North Sea Jazz Festival, Nice Jazz Festival, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Queen Elizabeth Hall v Londonu, Berliner Philharmonie, Wiener Konzerthaus, Elbphilharmonie in mnoga druga.
Z basistom Haggaiem Cohen Milom in bobnarjem Amirjem Breslerjem je leta 2013 ustanovil Omer Klein Trio. Trio izvaja Kleinove skladbe in veliko nastopa. Njihov prvi album, Fearless Friday (2015), velja za "eno najbolj zadovoljivih trio izdaj zadnjih let" (All About Jazz).
Kleinovo sodelovanje z mandolinskim virtuozom Avi Avitalom je bilo označeno kot ustvarjalno srečanje dveh velikih glasbenih umov. To prav tako velja za Kleinovo sodelovanje z Aris Quartettom, kjer je za projekt Shake It komponiral in aranžiral glasbo za klavir in godalni kvartet. Njegova priredba Shorterjeve pesmi Oriental Folk Song je bila leta 2023 nominirana za Deutscher Jazzpreis.
Med drugimi Kleinovimi projekti so: sodelovanje z NDR Big Bandom, duo s klasičnim tolkalcem Alexejem Gerassimezom, s katerim raziskujeta Stravinskega ter svobodni duo s trobentačem Sebastianom Studnitzkyjem. Klein je umetnik, ki vedno išče nove poti, da bi svojo glasbo razširil in razvijal.
"Eden najbolj fascinantnih umetnikov, ki so se pojavili v zadnjem desetletju" (City Mouse Tel Aviv), Omer Klein, v svoji glasbi pogosto odraža izraelske korenine. Sodeloval je z ikoničnimi pevci, kot so Arik Einstein, Gidi Gov, Yehudit Ravitz in Rona Kenan. Redno nastopa na Red Sea Jazz Festivalu in Tel Aviv Jazz Festivalu ter "širi glasbena obzorja svoje države" (Haaretz).
Omer Klein se je rodil leta 1982 v Izraelu in odraščal v Netanji. Njegova starša sta rojena v Izraelu, stari starši pa izvirajo iz Tunizije, Libije in Madžarske. Klavir je začel igrati pri petih letih, pri trinajstih pa se je osredotočil na jazz. Študiral je na konservatoriju New England v Bostonu, kjer je imel učitelje, kot sta Danilo Perez in Ran Blake za jazz klavir ter Alexander Korsantia za klasični klavir. Leta 2005 se je preselil v New York in tam študiral pri Fredu Herschu. Od leta 2009 živi v Nemčiji, trenutno v Frankfurtu, z igralko Violo Pobitschko in njunimi tremi otroki.
Omer Klein ima prestižni naziv »Steinway Artist«.

"𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐑 𝐊𝐋𝐄𝐈𝐍 SHOWS WITH HIS SPEED, TOUCH, REFINEMENT AND CREATIVITY, THAT HE BELONGS TO THE SMALL GROUP OF MASTER PIANISTS” – Süddeutsche Zeitung
Pianist and Composer Omer Klein’s music is “borderless” (New York Times) in its organic assimilation of widely diverse sources of inspiration, as he continuously “pushes mainstream Jazz concepts into the future” (Time Out New York). A prolific performer and composer, Klein has released 10 albums as a soloist, and published over 100 original compositions.
An exclusive Warner Music artist, Klein has made five recordings for the label so far. Sleepwalkers (2017) is a trio exploration of themes related to society in the information age, for which the Omer Klein Trio has won the 2018 ECHO award. This was followed by Radio Mediteran (2019), adding analog synthesizers and percussion to the classic trio format, thus creating “a very contemporary, forward-looking album full of subtle grooves and strong melodies” (Hamburger Abendblatt). Klein’s third effort for Warner Music, Personal Belongings (2021), is an interwoven solo piano / trio program which includes one of his most loved compositions, “Najara”, as well as his renowned, poignant rendition of “What A Wonderful World”.
2023 saw Klein at one of his creative peaks: He released his 4th album on Warner, Life & Fire, marking his trio’s 10th anniversary; composed and performed the widely acclaimed score for the Dance/Theater piece 10 Odd Emotions at Schauspiel Frankfurt; premiered his first symphonic project, an evening-long program of his compositions arranged for trio and orchestra; and released his 5th album for Warner by the end of the year, the intimate solo piano set, Season Bright.
For his 2023 activities, Klein received two nominations for the Deutscher Jazzpreis, in the “Piano/Keyboards” and “Live Act of the Year” categories.
Klein’s concert appearances have been widely praised. He has performed as soloist, composer and band leader at the North Sea Jazz Festival, Nice Jazz Festival, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, Swing Hall Tokyo, Berliner Philharmonie, Wiener Konzerthaus, Elbphilharmonie, Alte Oper Frankfurt, Bremen Musikfest, Dresdner Musikfestspiele, Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival and many more.
With bassist Haggai Cohen Milo and drummer Amir Bresler, Klein formed the Omer Klein Trio in 2013. The trio performs Klein’s compositions and tours extensively. Their debut recording, Fearless Friday (2015) is considered “one of the most rewarding piano trio releases of recent years” (All About Jazz).
Klein’s collaboration with Mandolin star Avi Avital has been celebrated as a creative meeting of the minds. This includes Klein improvising new movements for pieces by J.S.Bach performed by Avital. The same goes for Klein’s collaboration with the Aris Quartett, Shake It, for which he composed and arranged music for piano and string quartet; his arrangement for Wayne Shorter’s “Oriental Folk Song” was nominated for the Deutscher Jazzpreis 2023.
Other collaborations include Klein’s project with the NDR Big Band; his duo with classical percussionist Alexej Gerassimez in which they explore Stravinsky; a free-flowing duo with trumpeter Sebastian Studnitzky; and more. Klein is an artist always on the quest to expand his horizons and allow his music to grow and develop.
“One of the most fascinating artists that have emerged from this country in the last decade” (City Mouse Tel Aviv), Omer Klein’s roots in Israeli music are heard loud and clear. He composed songs or performed with iconic singers like Arik Einstein, Gidi Gov, Yehudit Ravitz and Rona Kenan. He is a regular presence at the Red Sea Jazz Festival and the Tel Aviv Jazz Festival and is “broadening the country’s musical horizons.” (Haaretz).
Omer Klein was born in Israel in 1982 and grew up in Netanya. He is the son of Israeli-born parents, and the grandchild of immigrants from Tunisia, Libya and Hungary. Klein began playing keyboard instruments at 5, turning his focus to the piano at 13, while composing and improvising from a young age. He studied at the Thelma Yellin High School of the Arts in Givatayim, before moving to the US as the recipient of a scholarship from the New England Conservatory in Boston, where he studied jazz piano with Danilo Perez and Ran Blake, and classical piano with Alexander Korsantia. In 2005 Klein moved to New York, where he continued his studies privately under Fred Hersch. Since 2009 he is based in Germany. He currently resides in Frankfurt with his girlfriend, the actress Viola Pobitschka, and their three children.
Omer Klein is a Steinway Artist.
