Acclaimed pianist and author Jeremy Denk curates a program that unites female composers across the centuries with pieces by Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms. Works by Louise Farrenc and Clara Schumann, French Romantic holdout Cécile Chaminade, American pianist and composer Amy Beach, and modernist-turned-folk-revivalist Ruth Crawford Seeger sit alongside works by acclaimed contemporary composers Tania León, Meredith Monk, Phyllis Chen, and Missy Mazzoli. Denk pulls these diverse works and composers together to tell a story of women’s genius—both recognized and neglected in their times and remembered and forgotten in ours—and lends his insight, technical panache, and expressive style to this era-spanning program.
“Denk is among the most entertaining of concert pianists…insightful in his interpretations, entertaining to watch, and engaging in his stage banter.”—Star Tribune
