The Chicago Tribune praised Jeremy Denk's ability "to draw the listener into his own feeling of renewed discovery." With his well-considered and wide-ranging programs, and unsentimental, revelatory interpretations, Denk is a must-hear artist. In a season filled with Beethoven tributes, Denk's program offers the last two piano sonatas, heard in conversation with Bach, Unsuk Chin, and the long-neglected Hélène de Montgeroult. Expect a refreshing, transcendent take, and hear these landmark works as if for the first time.

“A pianist you want to hear no matter what he performs.”
The New York Times
