Tatiana Berman is a London-based violinist and immersive artist who consistently pushes creative boundaries both as an brilliant musician and an accomplished painter, with inspirational artwork that compliments her musical compositions. Her paintings are sought after by collectors from around the world.

Tatiana’s unique projects brought her to some of the most iconic venues around the world, including Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Chicago Contemporary Art Museum, Santa Fe Symphony, and the Lafon Performing Arts Center. 

She is a co-creator of the original performance concept Not So Classical which has been praised by Forbes, NPR, and Playbill for its innovative approach to presenting a classical music experience. Tatiana is a producer of documentaries Maestro and Nordic Pulse.

Tatiana studied violin at the Yehudi Menuhin School, and the Royal College of Music in London, earning full scholarships and international awards along the way. Throughout her international career as a concert violinist, Tatiana has collaborated with renowned musicians including Ksenia Bashmet, Joshua Bell, Jeremy Denk, Bryce Dessner, Ivry Gitlis, Steven Isserlis, Elisabeth Leonskaja, Anthony McGill, Nico Muhly, and Simon Trpceski.

She has worked with conductors Paavo Jarvi, Sarah Ioannides, Tito Muños, Jose Luis Gomez, François López-Ferrer, and the late Yehudi Menuhin, appearing with both European and U.S. orchestras. London's The Strad described Tatiana as “a violinist with a mature, compelling musical personality.” She is an ardent performer of new music, commissioning and collaborating with dancers and digital artists. Notable performances include world premieres of Violin Concertos by Charles Coleman and Michael Csányi-Wills. Tatiana was Arts Ambassador and a Tedx Talk speaker.

As founder and artistic director of the Constella Arts, Tatiana facilitated the presentations of over 70 world premieres and brought music to schools where arts funding has been cut. During the 2020 pandemic, in partnership with Culturenet Tatiana became an online sensation generating hundreds of thousands of views for her virtual solo performances. Tatiana’s music video Vitali Variations and other digital projects can be experienced on networks across the globe. Whenever Tatiana is not performing or painting, she enjoys leading music workshops and speaking on topics that include the culture of sound, self-expression, creativity, and music education.
