Pianist Jeremy Denk will be the soloist at the last of four summer concerts in North Bennington, at the Carriage Barn, Park-McCullough House on Sunday, August 16, at 4 pm. The world-renowned pianist will play Bartók’s Sonata (Sz 80), Scriabin’s Sonata No. 9, and Beethoven’s Sonata in C Minor, Op. 111.

He has appeared as soloist with major orchestras in the U.S. and Europe. This season, he launched a four-season tenure as an Artistic Partner of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, made debuts in Cleveland, NYC and LA, and San Francisco, and performed Bach concertos with the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields.
