Jeremy Denk, piano

The New York Times declared Jeremy Denk to be “a pianist you want to hear no matter what he performs.” Winner of a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship and the Avery Fisher Prize, Denk has also been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and is an insightful writer on musical subjects as well as a performer; his memoir Every Good Boy Does Fine was recently published by Penguin Random House. At Caramoor he performs Bach’s monumental Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I, for which The Guardian praised his “fiendish technique and expressive iconoclasm you’d expect from one of today’s classical superstars.”
