"Yefim Bronfman is a true titan in the world of classical music—one of the top five pianists in the world, standing shoulder to shoulder with legends like Argerich, Barenboim, Yuja Wang and Lang Lang. At any other venue, you'd be paying a premium - more than $200 per ticket - to see him perform. And it's clear why - his artistry is unparalleled. The program he's bringing is nothing short of extraordinary.”

- Alexander Tutunov, Artistic Director and namesake of the Piano Series.
