Jeremy Denk is one of America’s foremost pianists, receiving acclaim from both audiences and critics alike for his nuanced performances on both the recital and orchestral stage. The recipient of both the MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship and the Avery Fisher Prize, Denk invites audiences to feel a sense of renewed discovery with his artistic interpretations of both keyboard classics and contemporary compositions. He gives a marathon performance of what is presumably the most famous and challenging collection of suites in music history—Bach’s Six Partitas—large musical canvases that follow the basic form of the Baroque dance suite and beautifully showcase virtuosic playing in every way.

Program: Bach: Partitas Nos. 1–6, BWV 825–830
