Brahms' Piano Quintet, both powerful and tender, is one of the masterworks of 19th-century chamber music, almost symphonic in its breadth and depth.
Known for sharp, vibrant performances of programs that are anything but conventional, Jeremy Denk is America’s most communicative pianist, as a writer, programmer and, most importantly, performer. He is able to take some of the most complex music written and make it sing. Denk, Richard Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s principal musicians explore Bach and Nancarrow canons.
Denk describes Ives’ classic Concord Sonata as “one of the most profoundly nostalgic and tender projects in all of music." It is this American pianist's calling card, vividly portraying the idealism, strength, hope, and fierce individuality inherent in the American ethos.
