Tamara Goldstein, piano

 Pianist Tamara Goldstein has enjoyed a varied career as a chamber musician, teacher and recitalist. From a musical family, she received her early training at the pre-college divisions of Manhattan School of Music and The Juilliard School before earning performance degrees at Indiana University (BM), Juilliard (MM), and the University of Colorado (DMA). She spent her junior year abroad in Jerusalem, studying at the Rubin Academy and Hebrew University.

From 1999-2022, she was on the collaborative piano staff of the Aspen Music Festival and School, assisting renowned string faculty and coaching and accompanying gifted students. Tamara has traveled with recital partners for performance and teaching engagements on several continents and has served as a presenter, adjudicator and performer at numerous national and international conferences and festivals. Drawn to entrepreneurial projects, Tamara curated and produced over a dozen multi- day interdisciplinary symposiums during her lengthy tenure as Associate Professor and Chair of Keyboard Studies at MSU Denver. DU’s Lamont School of Music then recruited her to join their adjunct faculty, where she performed frequently with faculty and guest artists in addition to teaching piano students.

Tamara moved to Boulder from NYC in the early ‘90s and has been an active figure on the Colorado classical music scene ever since. Her many concerto appearances with regional orchestras received high praise, and she has served as pianist with Central City Opera, the Colorado Symphony & Chorus, St. Martin’s Chamber Choir, Colorado Children’s Chorale, Colorado Chamber Players, Colorado Opera Troupe, Pro Musica, among others. She looks forward to upcoming concerts during the ’23-24 season, with the Front Range Chamber Players and on Grand Junction’s First Presbyterian Church chamber music series.

Tamara has recently been turning her attention to animal rescue, tending to her eight chickens and senior dog.
