“Most intriguing - the subtle and seductive Middle Eastern rhythms of Tomer Eldor's impressionistic piano.
The music is well-traveled and cosmopolitan.”
Kevin Whitlock, Jazzwise Magazine

From performing at the London EFG Jazz festival, to the Red Sea Jazz festival, and to the top jazz stages of the world (Ronnie Scott's in London, Black Cat in SF, Mezzrow in NYC, to top stages in Asia & S. America) - Tomer has toured the world with his music from the age of 16, and excelled as a jazz & world artist, composer, pianist and performer world-wide.
From piano trio, to orchestral jazz big-bands, and mixed world-music bands with 3 percussionists & collaboration with live dances (as seen here) - the repertoire is as wide as the imagination.
Founded a Music project for peace, "Makam Salam", collaborating with artists and peace activists from across Israel/Palestine, the Middle East, and beyond, to bring the message of peace, justice, dignity, security, and freedom for all through art. We have collaborated with NOA (Ahinoam Nini) and Mira Awad and continue collaborations with international acclaimed musicians, and planned to perform at London's EFG Jazz Festivals as well as other UK and EU festivals.
Immersive, Interactive, Cross-Modal Music & Visual Art Collaborative Live Creation Experience.
Unique cross-modal, interactive musical concerts & experiences, where the music is often created live or directed & influenced by the audience itself in real-time, often in collaboration with other forms of art created also live, for a cross-modal artistic inspiration fusion.
Whether in live performances or art installations, I make immersive and cross-modal collaborations of music and other art forms. Read more about The Centre, an immersive audio & art installation at the Museum of the Future in Dubai where I participated in making the music.
From all original a-cappella albums, composing & arranging for Choirs, and leading an improvised circle-singing experience group - I specialize in vocal and choral arrangements, from classical, and jazz, to tribal ancestral sounds and vocal explorations; from precise complex compositions for 30+ professional singers (composed for Shachar Choir, IL) and led multiple acapella groups and small choirs - to improvised communal singing experiences which take the audience/participants on a journey from novice to jamming and dancing with music from their heart. Tomer is now working with the singers of Bobby McFerrin to bring their work to London.
Tomer has launched, led, produced, musically directed, arranged, and conducted large orchestral and musical theater productions of 40+ participants with top national artists of the National Theatre of Israel (The Cameri Theatre), such as: Annie, Chorus Line, Chicago, and many more.
Featured here: Tomer's innovative production of Sweeney Todd (which he produced, arranged, led, and conducted) whereby all musicians start as a choir, and as Sweeney "executes" them one by one, they move to their seats at the orchestra to play their instrument, the next song featuring their instrument - transitioning from a full acapella choir to a full orchestra.
