Pianist Tamara Goldstein has enjoyed a varied career as a chamber musician, teacher and recitalist. 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 four 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. The University of Denver/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 and coaching student instrumentalists. 

​

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.

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.

Upcoming concerts during Spring 2024 include performances with the Front Range Chamber Players, on Grand Junction’s First Presbyterian Church chamber music series, and various house-concerts with members of the Colorado Symphony. She has a thriving private teaching studio in east Boulder and hosts regular chamber music readings with both amateurs and professionals.
