CCM guest artist Tamir Hendelman.
Though he is based in California, several concerts, tours and masterclasses in the greater Cincinnati area have allowed Hendelman to develop a thriving local following of jazz and swing enthusiasts. Looking forward to Hendelman’s collaboration with the CCM Jazz Orchestra, CCM’s Director of Jazz Studies Scott Belck spoke of how well students have received Hendelman in the past. “We thought it would be very cool to bring him back for a residency and concert.”
In addition to his renown on piano, Hendelman is also a sought-after arranger. In fact, "A Night with Tamir Hendelman" will feature several of his popular arrangements. Drawing inspiration from historical greats, Brazilian traditions and his own Israeli background, Hendelman’s unmatched artistry and technique consistently thrill audiences. Combining this shining virtuosity with the power of CCM’s professional-level Jazz Orchestra is sure to make "A Night with Tamir Hendelman" an unforgettable concert for all.
Tickets for “A Night with Tamir Hendelman” can be purchased online through CCM’s box office, over the phone at 513-556-4183 or in person at the CCM Box Office in the atrium of UC’s Corbett Center for the Performing Arts.
About Tamir Hendelman
Award-winning jazz pianist Tamir Hendelman has performed with the Jeff Hamilton Trio, the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, Harry Allen, Teddy Edwards, Warren Vache, Houston Person, Jeff Clayton, Nick Brignola, Phil Upchurch, Rickey Woodard, John Clayton and Barbara Morrison. He also leads his own trio and his debut CD Playground features him in this trio setting.
Beginning his keyboard studies at age six in Tel Aviv, Hendelman moved to the US at age 12 in 1984, winning Yamaha's national keyboard competition two years later at age 14. Concerts in Japan and the Kennedy Center followed.
Hendelman then studied at the Tanglewood Institute in 1988 and received a Bachelor of Music Composition degree from the Eastman School of Music in 1993. He then became the youngest musical director for Lovewell Institute, a national arts education non-profit organization.
Since returning to LA in 1996, Hendelman has been in steady demand as a pianist and arranger, touring the US, Europe and Asia, and receiving awards from ASCAP and the National Foundation For Advancement in the Arts. In 1999 Hendelman was a guest soloist with the Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra.
Hendelman joined the Jeff Hamilton Trio in 2000, contributing arrangements and recording, as well as touring Japan, Europe and the US as part of the Trio. In 2001 he became a member of the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra (CHJO), with whom he premiered John Clayton's new orchestration of Oscar Peterson's Canadiana Suite at the Hollywood Bowl in 2001. In 2002 he also toured Europe with Tierney Sutton and the Bill Holman Big Band. Hendelman musically directed Julia Migenes' s Alter Ego and played/arranged on Roberta Gambarini's Easy To Love.
With the CHJO, Hendelman has recorded for John Pizzarelli, Gladys Knight and Diana Krall. He is the pianist/arranger on Jackie Ryan's You and the Night and the Music and Janis Mann's A Perfect Time. He is also featured on Natalie Cole's Still Unforgettable and Barbara Streisand's upcoming recording.
Hendelman's musical travels have taken him from Alaska to New York, and Thailand to Israel. In his own trio, he explores standards, Brazilian music, blues and his Israeli roots. Hendelman's debut CD Playground (2008) was released in Japan on the Swing Bros. label and was released in the U.S. in December 2008 on CDBaby.com. Tamir Hendelman is a Resonance Records artist.
