Tel Aviv born singer-songwriter, classical composer, pianist and educator
Florie Namir is a jazz-pop Israeli artist based in Boston. She is classically trained in piano, voice and composition and have recently received a PhD in composition and theory from Brandeis University.
While working on her degree, she built up a new song-repertoire about her experiences in the U.S. and began performing venues and festivals in the East Coast, such as The Middle East, The Burren, and Boston Jewish Music Festival, Sofar Sounds Boston, and Mondo.NYC2016. Her optimistic songwriting combines elements from the music she loves: swing-jazz, Israeli songs, Beethoven and Bossa Nova and with a gentle yet powerful voice she delivers a heart-moving performance.
