[4][5][6] The New York Times wrote: "Few pianists approach Philip Glass's music with the level of devotion and insight that Bruce Brubaker brings to it, precisely the reason he gets so much expressivity out of it.

"[18] Brubaker has argued that technology is returning music to a pre-composer condition, and equalizing or blurring the roles of listener, performer, and composer.

"[19] Brubaker was born in Des Moines, Iowa, and educated at the Juilliard School,[20] where his primary teacher was pianist Jacob Lateiner.

As a concert pianist, he has appeared performing Mozart with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl,[23] Haydn at the Wigmore Hall,[24] Alvin Curran at Kings Place in London,[25] Messiaen and Philip Glass at New York City's (Le) Poisson Rouge nightclub,[26] Brahms at Leipzig's Gewandhaus, and extemporizing simultaneous performances with his former student Francesco Tristano[27] and jazz legend Ran Blake.

The project utilizes electro-magnetic "bows" producing long tones by making strings inside a piano vibrate for extended time periods.

For nine years, Brubaker was a faculty member at the Juilliard School[33] where he originated an interdisciplinary performance program in 2001, producing new work with dancers, actors, and musicians.

Students from Brubaker's piano repertory class at Juilliard include many distinguished pianists: Francesco Tristano, Simone Dinnerstein, Shai Wosner, Helen Huang, Lera Auerbach, Vicky Chow, David Greilsammer, Elizabeth Joy Roe, Greg Anderson, Vikingur Olafsson, Stewart Goodyear, Adam Nieman, Soyeon Lee, Terrence Wilson, Christopher Guzman, Eric Huebner.

[34][36] At New England Conservatory, Brubaker has appeared in public conversations with Alvin Curran, Meredith Monk, Tim Page, Salvatore Sciarrino and Russell Sherman.
