Theresa Bogard is a distinguished American pianist renowned for her dynamic and versatile performances. She has made significant contributions to expanding the traditional piano repertoire, particularly through her focus on music by women composers and other lesser-known composers. Early in her career, she gained recognition for her performances of underrepresented works, and she has continued to integrate diverse and eclectic pieces into her varied concert programs.
A recipient of a Fulbright grant, Dr. Bogard was able to further her study of historical performance practice and fortepiano at the Royal Conservatory of the Hague in the Netherlands. Her dedication to the study and performance of historical instruments was further solidified when she became a top-prize winner in the International Mozart Fortepiano Competition in Bruges, Belgium.
Throughout her career, Bogard has performed across the globe, with engagements spanning the United States, Europe, Asia, and South America. She has played in 16 countries across five continents, with notable performances at prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall and the Ravinia Steans Institute, where she performed with renowned cellist Misha Quint. Her passion for world cultures is evident in her deep connection to Brazilian music. Since her first concert tour in Brazil in 2007, she has returned frequently, giving masterclasses and performances in major cities such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Goiania, Florianopolis, Brasilia, Porto Alegre and Curitiba, and has developed a profound admiration for Brazilian composers.
In addition to her performance career, Dr. Bogard is a highly respected educator. She has taught at major international music festivals, including the InterHarmony International Music Festival in Italy and the Sulzbach-Rosenberg International Music Festival in Germany. Her students have excelled in competitions and gained acceptance into top conservatories such as The Juilliard School, Eastman School of Music, and Cleveland Institute of Music, among others. She is also a frequent adjudicator at regional, national, and international piano competitions.
Dr. Bogard's extensive discography spans a wide range of musical styles and includes recordings of solo piano works, chamber music, and historical performances on fortepiano. A Steinway Artist, she continues to be an advocate for both contemporary composers and the historical performance tradition, cementing her status as an influential figure in the classical music world.
