معرفی
Tanya Blaich is a Senior Lecturer in Collaborative Piano and Voice at New England Conservatory's College since 2006, co-coordinating the Liederabend Series while teaching song repertoire and language diction. Her expertise centers on German Lied and collaborative performance traditions.
Her educational background includes:
- MM and DMA from New England Conservatory
- Studies at University Paris-Sorbonne
- Bachelor's from Walla Walla College
- Diploma in Vocal Accompaniment/Chamber Music from Vienna Conservatory
Specializing in art song interpretation, Blaich focuses on German Lied repertoire, vocal-accompaniment synergy, and cross-cultural folk adaptations. Her research manifests through performance practice rather than theoretical publications, emphasizing textual nuance and historical performance contexts in collaborative works ranging from Schumann to contemporary arrangements.
Her performance trends reveal deep engagement with folk-inspired vocal works and mythological themes, particularly through her acclaimed 2020 album exploring narrative traditions in song. The repertoire consistently bridges European classical traditions with American folk influences.
Key honors include:
- Hannah Adler Scholarship
- Natica Righter Williams Endowed Scholarship
- First Prize at 2000 Robert Schumann Competition
As an advisor, she mentors through performance coaching in NEC's collaborative programs while maintaining active artistic partnerships.

Blaich contributes to institutional initiatives through the Liederabend Series curation and guest masterclasses nationwide.
She performs regularly with the Liederabend Series ensemble and collaborates with string quartets including Colorado, Lydian, and Miro. Her institutional partnerships extend to coaching roles with Boston Symphony Orchestra, Handel and Haydn Society, and Odyssey Opera.
