Elan David Sicroff (born March 20, 1950[citation needed]) is a concert pianist, recording artist, and educator.

As a teen, Sicroff trained as a classical pianist at the Juilliard Preparatory School under Jeaneane Dowis, specializing in the Hungarian composer Béla Bartók.

He attended the International Academy for Continuous Education in Sherborne, UK, directed by John G. Bennett, one of the leading exponents of Gurdjieff's teachings.

de Hartmann, Sicroff said, "Her greatest interest in the interpretation and performance of her husband’s music was that feeling should be transmitted through it.

[8] A recording project, begun in the Netherlands in 2011 and produced by Gert-Jan Blom, artistic director of the Metropole Orkest, was completed in 2016.

A seven-CD set, The Thomas de Hartmann Project, featuring Sicroff (with accompanists) performing the composer's solo piano, chamber and vocal works, will be released on the Basta Music label in September 2016.
