NYJW was incredibly fortunate to have Frank Kimbrough on faculty for a number of years. In summer intensives, masterclass, and private lessons, Frank shared his love and knowledge of music with countless curious minds. If you're in NYC this Thursday, Nov 5, please consider checking out this wonderful musical tribute Frank Kimbrough's life and work.
