About

Cheryl Tan is a pianist, researcher, and lecturer specialising in keyboard music of the long nineteenth century. She holds a Doctorate in Musical Arts from Cornell University, where she studied historical keyboards with Malcolm Bilson and completed her dissertation, 鈥楥lara Wieck and her Piano Variations: Postclassical Pianism of the 1830s鈥 under the supervision of James Webster, Roger Moseley, Natasha Loges, and Xak Bjerken. Cheryl previously studied in Britain, graduating from the University of Oxford with First Class Honours (BA Music) and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama with Distinction (MMus Piano Performance).

Her research interests include historical performance practice, postclassical concert culture, music analysis, and the music of female composers, particularly Clara Wieck-Schumann and her circles. She integrates her experiences in both performance and research to uncover and illuminate lost pianistic traditions; in addition to performing on both modern pianos and fortepianos, she has also presented at international conferences.

Cheryl joined the 黑料社 in 2024 as a Part-Time Lecturer in Piano and is a Visiting Tutor at the University of Oxford, teaching across performance and academic disciplines.
