Tatjana Rankovich

Tatjana Rankovich is a Serbian-American classical pianist and educator known for her dynamic interpretations of Russian and American piano works. Born in former Yugoslavia, she honed her craft at the prestigious Juilliard School before establishing herself as a sought-after performer and professor at Manhattan School of Music. Her recent albums like *Prokofiev, Shostakovich, & Medtner: Piano Sonatas* and *American Piano Works* showcase her affinity for emotionally charged 20th-century repertoire, while *The Juilliard Recital* and *Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall* recordings capture her live performance intensity.

A versatile collaborator, Rankovich co-founded the New York Piano Quartet and frequently bridges classical traditions with contemporary works. Her *Mozart&Chopin* release demonstrates her range across eras, balancing technical precision with expressive storytelling. Beyond the concert stage, she’s dedicated to music education, often returning to Serbia for masterclasses and cultural initiatives. Whether tackling thorny Medtner sonatas or crystalline Chopin études, Rankovich brings both scholarly depth and visceral engagement to every note.
