Originally from Eldorado, IL, Dr. 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 Dr. Paul Barnes. While attending IU, Rogers also studied vocal performance with Patricia Havranek and performed collaboratively under the instruction of Dr. Charles Prestinari.

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 presented a solo recital at Brahmshaus Baden-Baden and a collaborative recital in Karlsruhe with clarinetist Valentin Müller. In 2023, Rogers performed a program of all American women composers entitled "Shattered Ceilings" across Kentucky, as well as Malaga, Spain. For the 100th Anniversary of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue in February of 2024, Rogers performed the concerto with three different orchestras across the country.

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 latest research is on H. Leslie Adams, whom she has interviewed extensively to revive and edit his Empire Sonata for Horn and Piano from 1960. The new edition was released in 2024 through the American Composers Alliance. Rogers regularly collaborates with violinist Dr. Sila Darville to present exciting programs of music for violin and piano.

Rogers is an experienced instructor, having taught in both private studio and class piano settings since 2010. Rogers previously taught applied and collaborative piano as an Artist-Faculty member at the Omaha Conservatory of Music and is currently Assistant Professor of Piano at Berea College.

Rogers is the Co-Artistic Director of Lexington-based Chamber Music Ensemble AmadeusLex, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing classical music to the Bluegrass area. https://www.amadeuslex.com/
