Pianist Jeremy Denk will close out the 38th Chamber Concert Series when he returns Saturday, April 24 at 8 p.m. for his second Memorial Chapel recital.
A versatile pianist whose repertoire ranges from the standard works of the 18th and 19th centuries to more modern 20th century pieces, Denk will present Goldberg Variations by J.S. Bach and Sonata No. 1 by Charles Ives.
Denk has appeared as a soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Houston Symphony and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. He received the Avery Fisher Career Grant in 1998, a year after he made his first appearance at Alice Tully Hall as the winner of the Julliard Piano Debut Award.
An avid chamber musician, Denk has an extensive discography that includes the Tobias Picker Second Piano Concerto with the Moscow Philharmonic; works of Schubert, Bartok and Strauss with violinist Soovin Kim; and the Kirchner Duo with violinist Ida Levin.
Denk earned a double degree in chemistry and piano performance from Oberlin College and Conservatory, a master’s degree in music from Indiana University and a doctorate in piano performance from The Julliard School. He is a member of the faculty at the Bard College Conservatory of Music.
The concert is free to members of the Union community. General admission tickets are $20, and area students may attend for $8. For more information, call 388-6080.
