On the occasion of her debut at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, the New York Times hailed Ms. Stambuk as "a player with a powerful technique, ideas of her own, and considerable promise."  Since then, her concert career has taken her across the United States and abroad. She has performed with the Orchestre de Toulouse in France, the Virginia Symphony, the Chicago Civic Orchestra in Orchestra Hall, the Bergen Philharmonic, the Lake Charles Symphony, Rapides Symphony Orchestra in Louisiana, and with Washington's Olympia Symphony.  Stambuk has been heard in recital at the Dubrovnik Summer Festival in Germany and in the Auditorio Nacional Carlos Alberto in Portugal.  Stambuk has made guest appearances on radio in New York City, Moscow, and in Croatia, and has appeared on a television program entitled In Praise Of Women Pianists.  She has performed at the 92nd Street Y and Merkin Hall in New York City, the Music Academy in Philadelphia, the Phillips Collection in Washington DC, the Dame Myra Hess Series in Chicago, the Piano Series at the San Diego Art Museum, Brigham Young University, Texas A&M University, and the University of Hawaii.  She premiered Norman Dello Joio's newly revised Fantasy Variations for Piano and Orchestra in Florida and North Carolina. Tanya Stambuk has recorded the piano works of Norman Dello Joio on the Centaur label.

"I enjoy working with Puget Sound students because they continually challenge themselves and are not afraid of taking new paths.  It has been a great experience for me to get to know these students on an individual basis.  They are enthusiastic and inspiring people who make my work fun and exciting," says the beloved piano professor.
