Jeremy Denk, piano

One of America’s most thought-provoking, multi-faceted and compelling artists, pianist Jeremy Denk was awarded a 2013 MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship, the 2014 Avery Fisher Prize, and Musical America’s 2014 Instrumentalist of the Year Award.

“Mr. Denk, clearly, is a pianist you want to hear no matter what he performs, in whatever combination – both for his penetrating intellectual engagement with the music and for the generosity of his playing.” – New York Times
