Introducing our judges for the Senior Division Finals Concert this Sunday April 27th at 1:00pm at the ! Bruce Brubaker joined the New England Conservatory faculty in 2004, and became chair of the NEC Piano Department in 2005. In live performances from the Hollywood Bowl to New York’s David Geffen Hall, from Paris to Hong Kong, and in his continuing recordings for ECM, and InFiné—Bruce Brubaker is a visionary virtuoso. Named “Young Musician of the Year” by Musical America, Bruce Brubaker performs Mozart with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Philip Glass on the BBC. Profiled on NBC’s “Today” show, Brubaker’s playing, writing, and collaborations continue to show a shining, and sometimes surprising future for pianists and piano playing. His blog “PianoMorphosis” appears at ArtsJournal.com.
Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post critic Tim Page has said: “I wouldn’t trade Pollini, Argerich, Richard Goode, Peter Serkin or Bruce Brubaker … for any handful of Horowitzes!” Brubaker was presented by Carnegie Hall in New York, at France’s International Piano Festival at La Roque d’Anthéron, by the St. Louis Symphony at the Sheldon, at Trifolion in Echternach, the Philharmonie de Paris, at Michigan’s Gilmore Festival, and at Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art, as opening-night performer in the museum’s acclaimed Diller Scofidio + Renfro-designed building. He is a frequent performer at New York City’s Le Poisson Rouge and France’s F***e Journée in Nantes. His catalog of recordings is extensive. His most recent, “Eno Piano” has received much critical acclaim. We are honored to have him on our panel this year!
