Curtis announces the appointment of celebrated pianist Yefim Fima Bronfman to the school’s distinguished piano faculty. Mr. Bronfman, who himself studied at Curtis in the mid-1970s, begins his position effective immediately. I’m very excited to be working with the young artists of Curtis, and to return to my former school, said Mr. Bronfman. My time at Curtis allowed me to grow significantly as an artist and musician and I’m honored to provide that opportunity to others as a member of Curtis’s impressive piano faculty. Together, we will make the most of virtual teaching this semester and I look forward to the time when we can all make music together in person. #yefimbronfman #pianist #curtisinstitute #musiceducation
