Alan Roberto and Tatiana Senderowicz
Guitarist and lutenist Tatiana Senderowicz is a solo and chamber musician who has performed a wide variety of repertoire. She is a winner of the American String Teacher’s Association (ASTA) San Francisco Bay Area Chapter Competition and was the only contestant from the United States to have been selected as a semi-finalist to participate in the 2011 Barrios World/WideWeb Competition. In Spring of 2013 Tatiana was chosen to perform at the Guitarrada, an event hosted by Pepe Romero and the San Francisco Conservator’s Guitar Department where she had the opportunity to perform on a Hauser I guitar from the John Harris Guitar Collection. Senderowicz enjoys performing in diverse ensemble settings. She recently joined the Pacific Guitar Ensemble, a plucked-string ensemble with esteemed members David Tanenbaum, Peppino D’Agostino, Marc Teicholz and Larry Ferrrara. This spring Tatiana played guitar and electric bass n the American premiere of Opera Parallele’s production of Tarik O’Regan’s opera Heart of Darkness. With the San Francisco Conservatory Baroque Ensemble she has played theory and baroque guitar in productions of Monteverdi’s L’Incoronazione di Poppea, Handel’s Alcina and Serse and in various other chamber projects under the direction of Corey Jamason and Elisabeth Reed. Tatiana has participated in masterclasses with David Russell, Nigel North, Odair Assad, Wieland Kuijken, and SoloDuo. She has studied with Larry Ferrara and David Tanenbaum at the San Francisco Conservatory where she earned both her Bachelor and Master of Music degrees with a Secondary Emphasis on Historical Plucked Strings.
Alan Roberto Lopez
Well-versed as a solo and chamber musician, guitarist and lutenist Alan Roberto Lopez is committed to finding and communicating the true spirit of the music to his audiences. Most recently Alan performed at the National Museum of American History in Washington, DC, for the 2015 Smithsonian’s Symposium on “Historically Informed Performance in American Higher Education.” In addition, Alan has performed in several venues as a soloist and with his duo partner, Tatiana Senderowicz, around California and Mexico including the Old First Church in San Francisco and the Montgomery Theater in San Jose.
Alan’s talent and dedication have led him to receive the Vincent Constantine Scholarship to study at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music from where he recently graduated under the tutelage of Sergio Assad. In addition to this, Alan received a full scholarship to study at the Franz Liszt School of Music and a scholarship to perform at the Hispano-Americano Guitar Festival in 2010. Alan has performed in master classes for Roland Dyens, Marcin Dylla, Giulio Tampalini, Roberto Limon and Martin Candelaria. Furthermore, Alan has also participated in several intensive courses with Rafael Elizondo and Giulio Tampalini.
His interest in both early and contemporary music has led him to build a well-rounded repertoire on the guitar and theorbo with composers dating back to the late 1500’s such as Piccinini, Kapsberger, Caccini, and Monteverdi to more contemporary composers like Benjamin Britten, Leo Brouwer, Carlo Domeniconi and Dusan Bogdanovic.
Past teachers include David Tanenbaum, Rafael Elizondo and Jose Ramon Aguilar.
Some of our past performers have been:
Taija Warbelow, originally from Fairbanks, Alaska, is the violist in the Bay Area based Friction Quartet. She studied at the Juilliard Pre-College with Toby Appel and at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music with Jodi Levitz. Though bios are a necessary part of being a performer, she feels they are impersonal and would prefer for audiences to get to know her through her playing and by talking to her after the performance.
Bassist Eugene Theriault is a born and raised San Francisco native. He graduated with a B.M. from the Oberlin Conservatory and an M.M. from the San Francisco Conservatory, where he studied with Scott Haigh and Steve Tramontozzi, respectively. The performance of new music has been a part of his life since high school and he continues to be a strong supporter of contemporary music, performing most recently with the San Francisco Conservatory’s New Music Ensemble, Opera Parallele, and the Berkeley Symphony. He currently works as a freelance performer and teacher in the Bay Area, and enjoys playing a wide range of musics.
