About Me
Hi, I’m Rebecca Bogart.
Pull up a chair, and let me share a bit of my story with you.
Music has always been my first love, but like many love stories, ours had its twists and turns. I took a 10-year break from performing while dealing with the aftermath of cancer treatment, both financially and personally.
During the winter of 2020, times were tough. With COVID-19 and political turmoil here in the United States, the world felt dark and full of chaos. But you know what they say about music being healing? In this time of deep distress, I was drawn back to the piano as if by a magnetic force.
I dove into Chopin’s Nocturnes. These pieces echoed my sadness, my longing, my pain – but also connected me with a sense of love, peace, and beauty.
As I learned more nocturnes, a seed was planted. I wanted to share my story through music with a bigger audience. Before I knew it, I was planning a comeback solo recital.
But I didn’t want to just stay in the mainstream of the piano repertoire. I wanted to advocate for women composers too. I started exploring music by Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel and Clara Schumann. These women were true pioneers, and their music is beautiful and inspiring. Shining a light on their work helps us all realize that there is a massive amount of beauty awaiting our discovery. And that all kinds of people can create great art.
When you come to one of my concerts, I want you to feel a heartfelt connection with the composer’s message that’s encoded in the music. Whether I’m playing a beloved Chopin piece or introducing you to a newly rediscovered work, my goal is simple: to move you, to comfort you, and maybe even to surprise you a little.
Ready to join me on this musical adventure? Trust me, classical piano has some stories to tell, and I can’t wait to share them with you.
See you at the next concert!
