Conversation with Evgeny Kissin and NEC Piano Department Chair, Bruce Brubaker

Besides being one of the world’s most acclaimed piano virtuosos, Evgeny Kissin is an artist, a poet, a polyglot. Bruce Brubaker’s conversation with Mr. Kissin will touch upon matters of the spirit and the heart. Can we hear music in a world filled with suffering? What are the social responsibilities, or potential contributions of the musician?
