The works of Florie Namir have been performed worldwide by NotoRious and Dinosaur Annex ensembles (USA), Meitar Ensemble (Israel), Quartetto Mansi (Italy), Prometheus Ensemble (Belgium), and Trio Elixir (France), among others.

“Expressive,” “vibrant” and “rhythmically driven” describe well the character and temperament of Namir’s music. It derives inspiration from various composers and sources, such as Debussy, John Adams, traditional Jewish melodies, while maintaining a unique language. Namir’s composition Dialogue for Two Pianos, received an honorary mention of Prof. Giselher Schubert, director of the Paul Hindemith Institute in Frankfurt. In this piece Namir integrated three sketches by Paul Hindemith which the composer never used himself. The score lives in the institute’s collection.

Native of Israel (b.1979) Florie Namir earned her Bachelor’s degree from Tel Aviv University under the guidance of Joseph Dorfman. Florie continued her studies in the USA with Richard Lavenda and Pierre Jalbert at Rice University. She earned her PhD from Brandeis University, where she studied with Eric Chasalow, Martin Boykan and David Rakowski. 

Apart from “classical” works, Namir’s compositions include original songs and incidental music. Her collaboration project “Three Drops on My Hand” with choreographer Mina Muraoka was showcased at the Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts. Her commissioned work, “Delevarnu”, for reed quintet ensemble, has been recorded by Akropolis Reed Quintet on their album “Unraveled” and is soon to be published on Akropolis Collection. Most recently, Namir was commissioned by Israeli pianist Hagai Yodan to write a piece for his “60 seconds” project.
