KENNY BROBERG WITH KANSAS CITY SYMPHONY JUNE 23-25
One of the most highly decorated pianists of his generation, Park ICM alum Kenny Broberg is set to return to his second home, Kansas City, in a performance with the Kansas City Symphony June 23-25 at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. Kenny won the silver medal at the Cliburn in 2017, the bronze medal at the Tchaikovsky in 2019 and then in 2021 won the American Pianists Awards. We’re thrilled to have him back in KC as part of a blockbuster conclusion to a brilliant Kansas City Symphony season.
Broberg brings his breathtaking virtuosity to Rachmaninoff’s tuneful and utterly mesmerizing Piano Concerto No. 2. Rachmaninoff composed the piece following a course of hypnosis needed after the disastrous premiere of his first symphony. The result is pure genius, filled with thundering chords, dazzling displays and luscious melodies you’ll be humming on the way home.
