Yefim Bronfman, Piano

Piano virtuoso Yefim Bronfman returns to open this Golden Anniversary Season performing Johannes Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2, the last work that the great composer added to his repertoire as a pianist and one that is filled with technical challenges for the performer and rich rewards for the audience. The opulent splendor evoking Vienna’s Golden Age found in Richard Strauss’ Suite from Der Rosenkavalier gives the program a fitting start for this milestone season. The program begins with the world premiere of a composition by Bright Sheng which was commissioned by Professor and Mrs. Paul de Quenoy, and The Common Sense Society, with support of the Palm Beach Freedom Institute.
