"One of the most thoughtful and reliably interesting artists of our time." —Cleveland Plain Dealer 

Jeremy Denk is one of America’s foremost pianists, proclaimed by The New York Times as "a pianist you want to hear no matter what he performs." He is the recipient of both the MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship and the Avery Fisher Prize and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. A frequent performer at Carnegie Hall and concert halls in the UK, Denk has appeared multiple times at the BBC Proms and Klavierfestival Ruhr in Germany. In recent years, he has collaborated with such orchestras as the Chicago Symphony, New York Philharmonic, BBC Symphony, and London Philharmonic. During his recent tours, Denk has presented recitals featuring female composers from the past to the present day, as well as Bach’s complete Partitas. Denk is known for his interpretations of the visionary works of Charles Ives, which are the focus of his 2024 album Ives Denk. Other recordings by Denk have been praised by BBC Radio 3 and have reached No. 1 on the Billboard Classical Charts. In addition to his prolific piano career, Denk is The New York Times bestselling author of the memoir Every Good Boy Does Fine.
