An Evening with Renowned Pianist Jeremy Denk: Performance & Talk with James Wood
Online: $20 | In person: $20-$45 ($20 XYZ members)
- Jeremy Denk, piano
In his new memoir Every Good Boy Does Fine, renowned pianist Jeremy Denk traces his implausible artistic journey.
Life is difficult enough as a precocious, temperamental (and possibly insufferable) six-year-old piano prodigy in a small town in New Jersey. But then a family meltdown forces a move to New Mexico, far from classical music’s nerve centers, and he had to please a new taskmaster while navigating the perils of junior high school. Escaping to college in Ohio at sixteen, he meets a bewildering cast of music teachers, experiences a series of triumphs and humiliations, and ultimately finds his way as one of the world’s greatest living pianists, a MacArthur "Genius", and a frequent performer at Carnegie Hall.
Join us for an evening of conversation including a special performance by this renowned pianist!
