Broberg’s performance in Honolulu will be his last stop in his tour in Hawaiʻi, which also includes performances in Maui and Big Island. The Texas Classical Review said that Broberg’s performance at the Fifteenth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition showed “an imaginative shaping of themes, revelation of inner voices, and an unfailing sense of momentum”. Audiences do not have to be fans of classical music to become inspired by Broberg as he brings forth his skills and passion for the piano.

About Kenny Broberg: The first musician in his family, Broberg started piano lessons at age 6, when he was first fascinated by his mother’s upright—a wedding gift from her parents. He studied for nine years with Dr. Joseph Zins before entering the University of Houston’s Moores School of Music, where he earned a Bachelor of Music degree with Nancy Weems in 2016. He currently resides in Parkville, Missouri, under the guidance of 2001 Cliburn Gold Medalist Stanislav Ioudenitch at Park University.
