First Time in Berlin & Playing @Berlin Philharmonie!!!

12/7/2018

0 Comments

 
I need to tell you all about my trip to Berlin in late Sept., early October 2018! It was my first time visiting Berlin (Germany) and I had an absolutely great experience, made new friends, performed at 3 totally different venues in one week: 1) a salon concert series in a private home, 2) at the Van Gogh Piano Bar (lol) and also at.... guess where? 3) The Berlin Philharmonie!!!

Performing at the Berlin Philharmonie was a childhood dream of mine that came true on October 3rd, 2018! Growing up I was listening to many many radio stations in Bulgaria broadcasting live performances from this legendary venue and having the opportunity to be there and perform is certainly very special to me! The concert was organized and presented by the Enlightened Piano Radio Awards where I was a special guest artist from New York at the awards ceremony. Here are beautiful photos from the event taken by the talented Berlin based photographer Alexander Baumbach:
Here is also a YouTube link with highlights from the Award Ceremony, I appear at 3:10, check it out and also on the video you can see my dress way better ;)

Here are some more photos from October 2nd, 2018 at the Van Gogh Piano Bar, lol what I was doing the night before my Berlin Philharmonic debut - having fun with friends and playing at the bar :D

On September 30th, 2018 I performed at Hauskonzert Berlin - an intimate salon concert series in Berlin where I did a full solo recital. I had two grand pianos on site so I decided to play on both of them, that's why here in the pictures you will see me play on different sides of the stage :) I loved how I was surrounded by art works! Click HERE to see photos. When you click, go to Konzerte, then click on 2018, then go to September and you will see me there :)

Before and between the concert, I also had a chance to visit the Steinway Gallery in Berlin as well as Bechstein's headquarters (also in Berlin). I had the opportunity to play on amazing world class instruments D concert size grand pianos! Here is a fun Instagram video while I was practicing a piece written by Steve Holtje (Gymnopedie No. 1)

And here are photos from the piano galleries:
Bechstein had a very special warm welcome for me at their headquarters! They took this video of me while practicing and also featured me on their web site and social media with fans all over the world, promoting my original composition Rhythmic Movement:
They decided to take the videos and photos totally out of the blue, and that was my only tourist like day so I had no make up and wasn't dressed up lol Enjoy seeing a more natural Tania here :) To see me on Bechstein's official web site, please click HERE

Making My Film Debut in New York. Next stop - Hollywood :D

8/30/2018

Taking part in the making of a movie about classical music :)

So this happened! :) It was last minute, totally out of the blue, totally unexpected and the only day I happened to be available was the day - this past Monday August 27th, 2018 :) !!! So... it was meant to be: 

Ok, so I was invited to take part in Nicole "Nick" Alexander's film based on Terrence McNally’s Master Class (the life of Maria Callas), featuring MET opera star Isabel Leonard as Maria Callas. Me: I was a Julliard girl, opera student attending the master class. I guess I can still pass for a college girl ;) I have never done this before and they even spotlighted me and another actor - a lot of lights and umbrellas were near our faces, we had to repeat the scene 2-3 times until directors were happy. Lol but as a pianist I have attended tones of master classes so I knew how to react to all the Callas jokes. It was a lot of fun. Here is a photo of me and Isabel right after the film shooting. She had to stay longer but I already changed. Below this photo I will post more photos of my 70s outfit lol - the skirt is so not Tania skirt but it all worked out. I loved the 70s hair and make up (see more photos from the make up/hair dressing room), the earrings matching the blue top. The AC so high, it was freezing so these clothes actually ended up making me feel warm :) I will let you know when the film is out and I am supposed to receive a reel of the scene with me, so stay tuned :) my movie debut? Haha lol only in New York. The shooting was in New York (at the Engelman Recital Hall on Lexington Avenue).

The master class film scene took place at the Engelman Recital Hall on Lexington Avenue in New York, NY. More info and where to see the movie, stay tuned :)

Rhythmic Movement & Theater!

Rhythmic Movement is featured in Greenhouse Ensemble's podcast Episode 1 (Tania starts around 26:00) and she is mentioned at the end too.

Tania on NY1 News! New Reviews, on the Radio & the Last Show @Caffe Vivaldi

6/29/2018

0 Comments

 
Click HERE to see Tania on New York 1 News at her last show at Caffe Vivaldi on June 22nd, 2018. It is last because the Caffe closed its doors the next day June 23rd, 2018.

Check out also the latest review from the show. Music Critic Dusty Wright says: "it was an unforgettable evening. ...there is almost an improvisational quality to Satie's music that makes one lean in and really pay attention. But it was still simple and concise and, in the "able" hands of Ms. Stavreva, lyrical and beautiful. ..Mr. Holtje's confluence of his music and his seventeen-syllables poetry is irrefutable. And his collaboration with the extremely gifted Miss Stavreva seemed the perfect pairing." - CultureCatch

Tania is giving a live interview tomorrow Friday, June 29th, 2018 on Blog Talk Radio at 5pm EST time. You can listen to Tania on the radio HERE

In Tania's own words:

"Caffe Vivaldi is a very special venue to me. I am so said that it closed its doors. Since when I moved to NYC, I have performed so many times there. I even celebrated several of my birthdays with live shows, and I will always miss this unique place which welcomed music from all genres. It is so rare and unique! People who never been to classical concerts discovered me there and I got them in the concert hall, I've made new friends there too and collaborated with artists outside classical music genres too. The concert on June 22nd, 2018 was just the days the Caffe closed its doors forever... It was a special concert. I am grateful to all who came to support as well as grateful to New York 1 News for the feature and I have never expected to get reviewed at a Caffee too, so that also happened! Music critics could be very unpredictable! I am grateful for the wonderful review, the memories will always be in my heart. I look forward to moving forward with bringing music from my heart anywhere possible.

With endless love to you,

Tania"

Rhythmic Movement Wins 5 More International Music Awards in 1 Weekend! Four More Wins @the Indie Music Channel Awards 2018!!!

6/29/2018

0 Comments

 
Dear friends and supporters,

The weekend of April 21st was truly magical for me! Rhythmic Movement won 5 more awards all in one weekend between East and West Coasts! Immediately after winning the Best Female Instrumentalist Award at the Best of 2017 Foundations TV Red Carpet Awards in Lexington, MA, just immediately the next day I had to fly to Los Angeles, CA for the Indie Music Channel Awards 2018. I had only 5 hours of sleep and my flight was at something like 5am in the morning EST time. Luckily, the weather was nice, so I was able to arrive in Los Angeles around 11am (PST time).

The Indie Music Channel Awards 2018 took place at the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood, CA and I was invited to perform at the Award Ceremony too. So guess what, I had my CA Rock'N Roll debut there too :D

I was honored and humbled to find out that my debut album Rhythmic Movement was given 4 awards:

- Best Classical Female Artist
- Best Classical Duo (with my guest artist Will Calhoun for track #14 on the album)
- Best Classical Producer (Ron Saint Germain)
- Best Classical Recording

Just after making my 1st acceptance speech in my life the day before at the Foundations TV Red Carpet Awards, I had 4 more speeches at the Indie Music Channel event. Here is a video for you of the 1st one: 

And here are photos from the event:


After winning 5 awards in 1 weekend, Rhythmic Movement is now the winner of 14 international music awards in total! I have never expected such success, especially on a debut album! Words are not enough to express how truly honored and humbled I am! Thank you for your amazing support and for following my blog and latest news!

With love and light,

Tania
