Tal Cohen’s unique piano style owes its roots to the Jewish folk songs and classical music he played in his formative years growing up in Israel.

After moving to Perth at the age of 16, Tal received a music scholarship at Churchlands Senior High School. Upon graduating he continued his music studies at the prestigious Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts where he completed a bachelor degree, honours and masters in jazz performance.

Tal began performing nationally in 2010 with his involvement in the successful Australian tour of the Jamie Oehlers Quartet, which included shows at Sydney’s 505 and Melbourne’s Bennett’s Lane and Uptown jazz clubs. Since then he has performed and worked with a number of renowned jazz musicians including Joe Lovano, George Garzone and Jamie Oehlers.
