World-renowned pianist Craig Sheppard has almost made it to MMF twice: in 2019 unforeseen circumstances kept him from coming, and he was scheduled to appear during the in-person 2020 festival, but, alas COVID-19 rendered all live performing impossible! 

Craig will appear in 2021, but in the meantime, this interview will be a wonderful opportunity for the MMF audience to get to know this charming and charismatic gentleman, who has led a fascinating and story-filled professional life. Craig has graciously agreed to perform a few solo piano selections, as well!
