I had a gig earlier today accompanying a flutist (one of the many fine babe flute players we have in our area!) for a local competition. So I get there and they're giving out programs for this competition, and on the very first page is this full-sized photo of. . . Yefim Bronfman, the patron of the competition! (As you may remember, Bronfman was a beneficiary of Stern's favors in getting his career up and running.)
Playing the last movement of the Flute Concerto in D, Op. 283, by Carl Reinecke, my gal got first prize - I have no idea what she won, but apparently, we have Yefim Bronfman to thank for it! ;-)
