Yvonne Rogers is a pianist, composer, and multimedia artist from Maine, now based in Brooklyn, New York. Described as a “Fresh, new voice on piano,” (Paul Acquaro, The Free Jazz Collective), she is in demand as both a side-person and bandleader in New York and beyond. She has performed at venues and festivals including the Jazz Gallery, Roulette Intermedium, the Blue Note, Mezzrow, Smalls, Bar Bayeux, the Kennedy Center, NYC Winter Jazz Fest, Jamboree (ES), Porgy and Bess (AT), Birdseye (CH), the DC Jazz Festival, the Deer Isle Jazz Festival, and the Rochester International Jazz Festival. She has performed with artists including Ralph Alessi, Linda May Han Oh, Ingrid Laubrock, Harish Raghavan, Sara Serpa, and more. Yvonne is a 2024 Next Jazz Legacy Awardee, a grant recognizing outstanding women in jazz founded by Terri Lyne Carrington and facilitated by New Music USA. She is a commissioned artist for the 2025 Duck Creek Arts Music Series, where she will premier new music for her quartet. Yvonne was a member of the 2021/2022 Focusyear Band in Basel, Switzerland, where she performed with jazz masters including Kris Davis, Sullivan Fortner, Tineke Postma, Jorge Rossy, Larry Grenadier, Lionel Loueke, Chris Cheek, Elena Pinderhughes, Miguel Zenón, and more. Yvonne has been awarded a variety of other opportunities and accolades including the 2025 Betty Carter Jazz Ahead Residency, the 2024 Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composers Award from ASCAP, Dee Dee Bridgewater’s Woodshed Network Residency, Ralph Alessi’s School of Improvised Music, and the Sisters in Jazz Combo in which she worked with Ingrid Jensen. In October 2022 she was commissioned by the Big Basel Festival and Fondation Beyeler to compose and conduct a piece for large ensemble inspired by a Louise Bourgeois sculpture. A 2021 graduate of the Eastman School of Music and the University of Rochester, Yvonne holds two degrees: a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Piano Performance from the studio of Gary Versace and a Bachelor of Arts in African and African American Studies.

Currently Yvonne performs with Ingrid Laubrock’s “Lilith,” Adam O'Farrill’s “Elephant,” and Alden Hellmuth’s “Good Intentions,” as well as leading her quartet. Her debut album “Seeds” was released in 2023 on Relative Pitch Records and is available on Bandcamp and all other streaming platforms. Yvonne’s work is rooted in improvisation and play. Growing up on the rural Maine coast, Yvonne began writing music that followed the meditative patterns and systems of nature before having any conventional understanding of theory or harmony. She carries this sense of creative abandon with her wherever she is in the world.
