On Saturday May 2 at 7pm, 8bb is proud to present our friend Jeremy Denk in his only Chicago recital during the 2008/09 season. The concert will take place at PianoForte Chicago, and proceeds will benefit both PianoForte and eighth blackbird Performing Arts Association. Space is very limited, and you don’t want to miss this amazing bloke! Click here to buy tickets.
American pianist Jeremy Denk has steadily built a name as one of today’s most compelling young artists. In 1998, he won both the Young Concert Artists International Auditions and received a prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant, and over the past decade his career has flourished. He is a frequent collaborator with violinst Joshua Bell and author of the popular Think Denk blog. The program will include Charles Ives’ Piano Sonata No. 1 and J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations.
According to the New York Times:
With familiar repertory, expectations need to be not only manipulated but surpassed for the performance to graduate from the merely enjoyable to the profoundly affecting. A rendition of Bach’s “Goldberg” Variations by the pianist Jeremy Denk…was entrancing from the first notes of the famous Aria, a magical experience that was one of the best solo performances this year.
