Norman Dunfee has had a distinguished career both as a pianist and as an arts administrator. A native of Grant City, Missouri, he did undergraduate work in liberal arts at William Jewell College in Kansas City before completing master’s and doctoral degrees in piano at the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory of Music. He performed extensively throughout the United States, as well as in Germany and in England. In New York City, he has appeared in numerous recital series, including the Trinity Church series and the Museum of the City of New York series. Most recently he collaborated with Raymond Hughes in a duo-piano recital in a gala benefit concert in Thomasville, GA to benefit the MedBank Foundation.

Since 1990, Dr. Dunfee has been Executive Director of MidAmerica Productions, the largest independent producer of classical concerts in Carnegie Hall. Under his direction, MidAmerica Productions presents over thirty concerts of classical choral and orchestral repertoire every season, bringing together choruses and orchestras from all across the United States and from abroad; as well as a separate series of Chamber Music concerts in Weill Recital Hall. He also serves as Executive Director of Elysium Recordings, for which he manages research, personnel and production.
