Pianist Kenneth Broberg is one of the most internationally recognized pianists of his generation, with a silver medal at the Van Cliburn Competition and a bronze medal at the Tchaikovsky Competition.

He is also active as a composer and conductor. His album Songbird, recorded with violinist Maria Ioudenitch, received the Chamber Music Recording Award at the 2023 Opus Klassik Awards. Deeply committed to teaching, he has been Artist-in-Residence at Indiana University, and Professor at the Reina Sofía School and the Katarina Gurska Centro Superior de Música, both in Spain.
