Broadway's chamber music experience is extensive. He has appeared throughout Europe and North America and with such artists as violinists Jorja Fleezanis, Michelle Makarski, and Andrew Dawes (with whom he recorded the complete works for violin and piano of Harry Somers for the Centrediscs label), flutists Camille Churchfield and Mark McGregor, oboist Elaine Douvas, bassoonist Christopher Millard (including a disc of French music for the Summit label) and French horn player James Somerville. He has also collaborated with celebrated singers including tenor James King and soprano Reri Grist in Vienna, Berlin, Munich, Paris and many music festivals.

Since the final performance of the Markham and Broadway piano duo in 1999, Kenneth has continued a busy musical life in Vancouver. He has appeared with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra in performances of Liszt's Hungarian Fantasy and Mozart's Concerto for Three Pianos. On January 27 of 2006 he was featured in an all-day celebration for the 250th anniversary of the birth of Mozart at Studio One at the CBC Radio, performing solo, four-hand and chamber works of Mozart. During the past three years, he has given over 200 concerts for Artsway, an organization which brings music into hospitals and care centers.

Formerly an instructor of piano and chamber music at the University of British Columbia School of Music, Mr. Broadway now enjoys teaching in his private studio in Vancouver.
