Liana Șerbescu (born 25 August 1934), is a Romanian pianist, piano pedagogue and musicologist, a pioneer in the field of women's music.

[4][5][6] Liana studied with several well-known Romanian teachers: Constanța Erbiceanu [ro], Cella Delavrancea, Dagobert Buchholz and Silvia Serbescu, at the Bucharest Music Conservatory, and later with Guido Agosti at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena.
