Madeline Rogers

Originally from Eldorado, IL, Madeline Rogers earned a Master of Music from Indiana University Jacobs School of Music as a student of André Watts, and a Doctorate in Musical Arts from the University of Nebraska with Paul Barnes. Rogers is an accomplished solo and collaborative performer in the US and abroad. In 2019 she collaborated with faculty from various campuses across Nebraska to present a program of music inspired by Shakespeare at Churchill College in Cambridge, UK. In July of 2022, Rogers spent several weeks researching the late music of Brahms in Baden-Baden and performing solo recitals at Brahmshaus Baden-Baden and a collaborative recital in Karlsruhe with clarinetist Valentin Müller. Her work in Baden-Baden will continue with another residency at Brahmshaus in the summer of 2024. A proponent of living composers, Rogers has worked closely with Victoria Bond to revive a piano concerto that was last performed in 1997 and was the first to premiere the two-piano version of the concerto in 2021. Her most recent scholarship has been on the music of H. Leslie Adams, which will culminate in a new edition of his Horn and Piano Sonata with the American Composers Alliance. Rogers previously taught applied and collaborative piano as an Artist-Faculty member at the Omaha Conservatory of Music and is currently Assistant Professor of Keyboard Studies at Berea College. Rogers performs regularly with the Lexington based Chamber Music Ensemble AmadeusLex.
