| Details | Jeremy Denk, one of world’s foremost pianists, proclaimed by the New York Times “a pianist you want to hear no matter what he performs.” In this solo recital, Denk — who is well known for his interpretations of Connecticut composer Charles Ives — celebrates Ives’ 150th birthday with his eclectic program featuring Ives’ Concord Sonata. One of America’s most quintessential sonatas, the Concord is known for its extreme technical difficulties making it a great challenge for any pianist. In addition, Denk will perform a variety of other fantastic eclectic works, ranging from Scott Joplin to Nina Simone. Beethoven Sonata in E minor, Op. 90 (13”) Joplin: Bethany Waltz (15” altogether set) Gottschalk: The Banjo Nina Simone: Just in Time (transcribed) William Bolcom: Poltergeist Rag Beethoven Sonata in A‑flat, Op. 110 (20”) Ives Sonata No. 2 (“Concord”) (42”) |
