Award Winning Pianist and Fellow Player and Teacher Bond at Park University
A fascinating conversation with Kenny, who in June won the American Pianists Award, just the latest in a string of accomplishments for the 28-year-old pianist who performed Tuesday night with the Kansas City Symphony. He and his teacher Stanislav, an accomplished player in his own right, came together at Park University in 2016. Musical passions, dedication, competition, collaboration and more in delightful focus.

Bravo!

How Much Good News Can You Handle?
