Elena Tarasova is a Russian pianist, laureate of international piano competitions, Associate Professor at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, founder and artistic director of several festivals and concert series, and a member of the World Piano Teachers Association and the International Union of Musical Statesmen.

Born in Moscow, Elena began playing the piano at the age of four and made her first stage appearance at five. She studied with Olga E. Mechetina at the Children’s Music School and Academic Music College of the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, before continuing her studies at the Conservatory under Professors Sergey L. Dorensky and Pavel T. Nersessian. She also attended classes with Andrei A. Pisarev and Nikolai L. Lugansky. After graduating with honours, she continued her postgraduate studies with Dorensky and Nersessian and joined the Conservatory’s teaching staff in 2010.

Her extensive repertoire spans styles and periods from the Baroque to the 21st century, and she has taken part in world and Russian premieres of new works. For the 150th anniversary of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s birth, she created her own piano transcription of Symphonic Dances, Op. 45, which has become part of her solo repertoire.

Tarasova has performed in Russia, Italy, France, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Netherlands and Japan, appearing in major venues in Paris, Montpellier, Lille, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Duisburg, Salzburg, Amsterdam, Sarajevo, Novi Sad, Prague, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and numerous other cities.

A distinctive feature of Tarasova’s artistic work is her careful conceptual approach to each performance. Her concert seasons include monographic programmes, musical chronicles, marathons and thematic projects. She has also developed innovative solo formats, including a piano programme conceived as an acoustic performance.

She has recorded works by Couperin, Bach, Liszt, Debussy, Saint-Saëns, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, Ravel, Prokofiev, Stravinsky and Françaix. Her recordings have received praise from the international press, while her interpretations have been featured prominently in European music media.

As Associate Professor at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, she gives masterclasses in Russia, Germany, France, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Japan. She regularly serves on juries of international competitions and festivals and has been a jury member of the WPTA International Piano Competition in Serbia since 2018.

Tarasova is also the founder and artistic director of several festivals and concert series. Her major projects include the festival marking the 110th anniversary of Francis Poulenc’s birth (2008–2009) and the international music project OPUS UNIVERSUM, launched in 2016.
