Tess Luhmann

I am a professional pianist, offering services in piano accompaniment, collaboration and performance. My personal repertoire has a primary focus on Classical music, but I have maintained a vast repertoire of classical, jazz, pop, and contemporary pieces suitable for various performance settings. As an accompanist, I collaborate with both soloists and ensembles for rehearsals, performances, and auditions. I am always actively looking to expand my network of Bay Area classical musicians to grow my own repertoire base.  I also perform at events, providing tailored programs to suit the mood and interests of the audience.

My repertoire ranges from Classical works in my personal study, to pieces I've had the pleasure of accompanying professionally. As an avid sight-reader, I've independently studied from J.S. Bach to Gershwin. Some works I have continuously returned to include J.S. Bach's Well Tempered Klavier (Vol. 1 & 2), J.S. Bach's Partitas, Beethoven's Piano Sonatas (Vol. 1 & 2), Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words / Lieder Ohne Worte, and Brahms' Klavierstucke & Rhapsodies. As an accompanist, I have worked with both soloists and ensembles, ranging from accompanying choirs, instrumental soloists, and vocal soloists ranging from operatic to musical theater genres.
