Michael Brofman, Artistic Director

Pianist Michael Brofman has earned a reputation as one of the finest vocal accompanists of his generation. He has performed over one thousand songs, from Schubert’s earliest lieder to premieres of new songs by today’s most-recognized composers. He was hailed by the New York Times as an “excellent pianist” and 
Feast of Music recently praised his “elegant and refined playing… exhibiting excellent touch and clean technique.”  Parterre Box Blog called Mr. Brofman a “master communicator at the piano,” and Voix des Arts praised his “finesse and flexibility.”  Seen and Heard International recently wrote “Brofman got to the core of each song…delving into their emotional depths.”  Opera News stated “Michael Brofman provided exquisite piano accompaniment.”
