Pianist Angelina Tallaj was born in Santiago, Dominican Republic where she displayed a natural talent at an early age, performing extensively and winning many awards and competitions. Since moving to Brooklyn, Ms. Tallaj, who earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Brooklyn College, has studied with Michael Rogers, Agustin Anievas, and German Diez. Recently concerto performances include the Schumann Concerto with the Kingsborough Symphony Orchestra, the Mendelssohn Concerto with the Dominican Republic’s National Symphony Orchestra, and the Grieg Concerto throughout Puerto Rico and with the orchestra Celebrate at Lincoln Center of New York. Further performance venues include Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center and the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. In addition to the traditional piano repertoire, she enjoys performing the music of Latin America and performs recitals and lecture-recitals devoted to this music. Ms. Tallaj is also active as an accompanist and has recorded for Albany Records in this capacity. She is currently on the faculty of the Third Street Music Settlement and is a PhD student in Ethnomusicology at the City University Graduate Center where she is the recipient of the prestigious MAGNET fellowship. As an ethnomusicologist, Ms. Tallaj has presented her research at many conferences on Dominican and Latin American music.
