American pianist Jeremy Denk has steadily established himself as one of the most versatile and compelling artists of his generation. In praise of a recent concert, The Washington Post observed: "What made his performance so compelling was the intelligence, lyricism and transparency that illuminated everything he touched."

Recipient of a prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant, he has appeared as soloist with the major orchestras of Philadelphia, St. Louis, Houston, San Francisco, and Atlanta, as well as with New York's Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. In a rich variety of repertoire spanning several centuries, he has collaborated with distinguished colleagues at concert venues and festivals throughout the United States and Europe, including a long series of performances with violinist Joshua Bell.

Jeremy Denk is a faculty member of the Bard College Conservatory of Music. He holds a Master of Music degree from Indiana University following studies with György Sebök, and a doctorate in piano performance from The Juilliard School, where he worked with Herbert Stessin. Denk is a highly articulate (and often humorous) commentator on music, whether speaking from the stage or posting on his blog, "Think Denk: The Glamorous Life and Thoughts of a Concert Pianist."
