Noam Lemish is a JUNO-nominated pianist, composer, scholar and educator. He has appeared in numerous performances and conducted workshops across Canada, the US, Europe, and in Bhutan and has released multiple albums, including most recently There’s Beauty Enough in Being Here (2025) and the JUNO-nominated Twelve (2022). In many ways, Lemish’s transcultural identity is reflected in his music. Over the course of a quarter century of musical creation he’s always sought to expand the scope of his exploration, often blurring or ignoring deeply etched boundaries between genres, peoples, and traditions. He’s a jazz artist and a classical composer of chamber works, an improviser and an accompanist, an intrepid cross-cultural investigator and an interpreter of contemporary composition.
