Avery Fisher HallMostly Mozart Festival Orchestra ALL-BEETHOVEN PROGRAM Pre-concert recitals by Jeremy Denk, piano, at 7:00 This all-Beethoven program features the fiery, witty pianist Jeremy Denk and the extraordinary Grammy-winning soprano Christine Brewer, and culminates in the composer’s playful, lighthearted Eighth Symphony. “Hearing Mr. Denk’s bracing, effortlessly virtuosic and utterly joyous performance, one would never guess how phenomenally difficult the piano part is.” “One of the best in the business…Ms. Brewer is the uncommon singer of her vocal type whose voice can slice through a thick orchestra while still sounding lustrous.” Performances begin promptly at their scheduled time. There is no late seating. This event corresponds to an evening course, “Beethoven’s Vienna,” being offered August 8–11 by The Juilliard School. Learn more and register online. On August 13, Jeremy Denk played Ives's The Alcotts, from Sonata No.2 for Piano: Concord, Mass., 1840–60, as an encore. You May Also Enjoy:August 16 and 17 at 8:00 August 19 and 20 at 8:00 |
