Ives Sonata No. 2: Concord, Mass., 1840-60
Additional works to be announced

In his first solo recital in Houston, American pianist Jeremy Denk plays an all-American program including Charles Ives’ monumental “Concord” sonata, the composer’s tribute to Emerson, Thoreau and other heroes of transcendentalism. 

“What made his performance so compelling, however, were the intelligence, lyricism and transparency that illuminated everything he touched. His attention to detail only heightened the unfolding drama.” – The Washington Post on Jeremy Denk’s performance of the Concord Sonata
