Tatiana Tessman, Pianist “An exceptionally gifted pianist, [Tatiana Tessman] possesses a strong artistry and personality…,” writes the German Bayern of the Russian-born pianist Tatiana Tessman, whose career is studded with accomplishments and awards that firmly distinguish her as an artist of international stature. Tessman has performed as soloist with orchestras around the world, including the World Symphony in Cincinnati, Shreveport Symphony, Bach's Festival Orchestra, Manhattan School of Music Philharmonia, Uruguay Philharmonic Symphony, Panama Philharmonic Symphony, Korea W. Philharmonic the Russian Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra upon a personal invitation from Maestro Mstislav Rostropovich. On the competition front, Tessman has seen overwhelming success, claiming first prizes at the Glenn Gould International Piano Competition in Ostra (Italy), Santorini International Piano Competition (Greece), 55th Wideman International Piano Competition, the Missouri International Piano Competition and the 50th Cincinnati World Piano Competition, in addition to multiple other awards at the Panama International Piano Competition, the Florida International Piano competition and the Eisenberg-Fried Manhattan School of Music Concerto Competition in New York. Fueled by her victories on the international competition circuit, Tessman’s reputation as an outstanding pianist of exceptional value expanded rapidly, leading to engagements throughout Russia, Europe, Latin America, Cuba, Asia, and the United States. Her artistry has taken her to many of the world’s leading venues, including The Big Hall of Moscow Conservatory, The Seoul Arts Center in Korea, Italy’s La Scala, Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall and Carnegie’s Weill Hall, where her performance was recorded and broadcast by New York’s WQXR Classical Music Station.As a chamber musician, she has collaborated with Steven Doane, Clive Greensmith, Paul Neubauer, and the Ulysses Quartet, to name a few.Tessman also regularly performs in a duo with violinist Christina Bouey. In 2003, Tessman’s career marked a milestone when she was invited by Mstislav Rostropovich to perform under the maestro’s baton with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra at the “Klassik am Odeons platz” in Munich. The concert took place at the central square in front of an astonishing 7,000 people. Her debut with Maestro Rostropovich was followed by an appearance at the “Summer Concerts” Festival in Ingolstadt. It was at these concerts where Tessman’s much-acclaimed performance of Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto led to other concerts at the series “La Scala Presents.” Tessman’s public concert career began at the age of four in Omsk, Russia. A year later, she entered the Gnessins School of Music in Moscow, where she studied under the direction of Professor Tatiana Zaitzeva. In 1997, after being awarded a scholarship from the Mstislav Rostropovich Foundation, Tessman was admitted to the Moscow State Conservatory, where she studied with teachers such as Valery Kastelsky, Pavel Nersessian, Nikolai Lugansky, Sergei Dorensky (with whom she pursued her studies as a post-graduate student) and Mstislav Rostropovich. After finishing her Bachelor and Master of Music degrees at the Tchaikovsky Moscow State Conservatoire, Tessman moved to the United States, where she earned her Doctoral degree at the Manhattan School of Music under the guidance of Solomon Mikowsky, where she was a recipient of the Elda van Gelder Memorial Foundation Scholarship. Currently residing in Salina, Dr. Tessman serves as Director of Keyboard Studies and Artist-in-Residence at Kansas Wesleyan University, where she is also co-director of the annual KWU International Music Festival.
