About the Artists

Tatjana Rankovich

One of the most versatile pianists of her generation, Tatjana Rankovich is an artist committed to continuously expanding the boundaries of traditional repertoire, constantly searching for and discovering new contemporary music and devoting her interest to performing rarely heard works of the past.

Ms. Rankovich is an enthusiastic advocate of American 20th-century music and has performed and recorded a number of premieres. She is the first pianist ever to play the First, Second and Third Piano Concertos of Nicolas Flagello, recording them with the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine (Naxos, June 2006) and the Slovak Philharmonic (Artek, 1996), which was released to unanimous praise and chosen by Fanfare Magazine as one of the five “best of the year” recordings in 1996 and again in 1999.

Born in Belgrade, Serbia, Tatjana Rankovich earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at Juilliard, where she also won the Judelson Piano Award, Gina Bachauer Scholarship and the Teaching Fellowship Grant. She was the top prizewinner at the Young Keyboard Artists International Piano Competition in Michigan, Olga Koussevitzky Piano Competition in New York City, and was the First Prize winner at the Artists International Competition.

Ms. Rankovich has recorded for Phoenix USA, Artek, Naxos and Citadel Records.  She is presently on the Faculty at the Mannes College of Music in New York City, where she lives.
