Elaine Rombola, a native of Los Angeles transplanted to the Boston area, holds a Bachelor’s of Music in Piano Performance from Oberlin Conservatory (2000) and a Master’s of Music in Piano Performance from New England Conservatory (2003). Over the past eleven years she has performed extensively, both in solo and chamber music concerts. In 1996 she was invited to play on concerts in Los Angeles, Tokyo and Kochi, Japan, for a Piano Teacher’s Guild of Japan sponsored exchange. She has performed solo concerts in California and Ohio and Connecticut and on several concert series throughout Massachusetts, most recently the Paderewski Piano Series, the Adams House at Harvard Recital Series, and the concert series at Lasell Village, to name a few. In November she will be the inaugural performer on the North Shore Piano Teachers’ Guild Artist Recital Series in Marblehead MA.
Elaine has performed with such ensembles as the New England Conservatory Philharmonia (NEC’s top tier orchestra) and the Callithumpian Consort, under conductors Joseph Silverstein, Donald Palma, and Stephen Drury, and premiered numerous new works by young composers, including a work for the 1999 Gamper Festival at the Bowdoin Summer Music Festival. In 2003 she played with the Callithumpian Consort on a recording of the works of Earle Brown, to be released by Mode Records. Over the last several years she has earned raves with her performances of 20th century and new music at the Summer Institute for Contemporary Performance Practice (SICPP) at NEC, performing such works as “Emerson” from Charles Ives Concord Sonata, Stockhausen’s Klavierstucke XI, Lee Hyla’s Riff and Transfiguration, and John Cage’s Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano. At SICPP 2007, her performance of Ives’ Waltz-Rondo received a favorable mention in the Boston Globe (June 25th, 2007).
She has studied with Susan Svrcek, Sanford Margolis, Peter Basquin and Stephen Drury, and had coachings with Patricia Zander, Emma Tamizhian, Steffen Schleiermacher, Marc Pontus, and Ursula Oppens. She is a deep admirer of the music of Bach, and yet also an avid supporter and performer of the music of the 20th and 21st centuries. She has worked with composers George Crumb and Lee Hyla. She is a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher as well, who believes that the love and knowledge of music must be shared. She is interested in bringing new and infrequently heard music to audiences in a convincing and enlightening manner. Audiences regularly respond to her performances with enthusiasm and a sense of having heard things in a new way.
