Pianist Yefim Bronfman Cancels Carnegie Hall Recital Due to Injury

Bronfman's recital on April 16 will not be rescheduled at this time

Carnegie Hall announced that pianist Yefim Bronfman has had to cancel his performance on April 16 due to a hand injury.

Bronfman's performances at Carnegie Hall have spanned an almost 50-year period. This season, he is touring his recital program in Austin, St. Louis, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Washington DC, Amsterdam, Rome, Lisbon, and Spain. Also this spring, he will perform trios with Anne-Sophie Mutter and Pablo Ferrandez in the US.

Bronfman works regularly with an illustrious group of conductors, including Daniel Barenboim, Herbert Blomstedt, Semyon Bychkov, Riccardo Chailly, Christoph von Dohnányi, and Gustavo Dudamel, among others.

As a chamber music repertoire, he has collaborated with the likes of Pinchas Zukerman, Martha Argerich, Magdalena Kožená, and Emmanuel Pahud.

Bronfman has been nominated for 6 GRAMMY® Awards, winning in 1997 with Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Los Angeles Philharmonic for their recording of the three Bartok Piano Concerti.

Born in Tashkent in the Soviet Union, Yefim Bronfman immigrated to Israel with his family in 1973, where he studied with pianist Arie Vardi, head of the Rubin Academy of Music at Tel Aviv University.

In the U.S., he studied at The Juilliard School, Marlboro School of Music, and the Curtis Institute of Music, under Rudolf Firkusny, Leon Fleisher, and Rudolf Serkin. A recipient of the prestigious Avery Fisher Prize, he also received the Jean Gimbel Lane prize in piano performance from Northwestern University and an honorary doctorate from the Manhattan School of Music in 2015.
