In September of 2023, two Interlochen faculty pianists presented a recital together.
Hyemin Kim was beginning her second year as a collaborative piano faculty member at Interlochen, and Michael Coonrod had retired in 2022 after a distinguished career on Interlochen’s faculty.
Together the two perform as the Kim & Coonrod Duo, and this was one of their first collaborations.
Their recital included music for one piano four hands and two pianos by Leonard Bernstein, Franz Schubert and Johannes Brahms.

The archival recordings heard on this program are available thanks in part to The Association for Recorded Sound Collections' Classical Music Preservation Grant, generous support from IPR listeners, and the Hamer D. and Phyllis C. Shafer Foundation.
Michael Culler engineered the recital recording heard in this episode.
