Tmir Hendelman and his trio in concert for the JFED SRQ at Holley Hall on April 2. Born in Israel, Tamir Hendelman began his keyboard studies at age 6 in Tel Aviv, Israel. In 1984, Tamir moved to the US and won Yamaha's National Keyboard competition two years later at age 14. Concerts in Japan and the Kennedy Center followed. Tamir’s musical travels have taken him from Alaska to New York, and Thailand to Israel. With his own trio, he explores standards, Brazilian music, blues and his Israeli roots. Hendelman has been in steady demand as pianist and arranger, touring the US, Europe and Asia, and receiving awards from ASCAP and National Foundation For Advancement in the Arts.
