Before coming to work for Schmitt Music, I was on the staff of The Friends of Chamber Music in Kansas City, which presents a renowned piano recital series. I first met Yefin Bronfman when he played on that series during the 2003-2004 season. Not only did I have the pleasure of hearing his superb music-making, but I was also able to spend time getting to know him a bit--as did the students who participated in a post-concert pizza party with him. Our paths have crossed several times since then, most recently in a telephone interview on November 7, 2006. Down-to-earth, friendly and funny, he is truly a delight. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did!
