Denk made his mark with Williams Center audiences two years ago as soloist with Orpheus in its Brandenburg Redux program.

This season he brings us the spectacular program he will perform four days later in his Carnegie Hall debut: Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 29 in B-Flat Major, Op. 106—the heroic “Hammerklavier” Sonata—and Charles Ives’ deeply spiritual 1920 “Concord” Sonata, which pays tribute to the New England transcendentalists, with the four movements dedicated to (and invoking) Emerson, Hawthorne, the Alcotts, and Thoreau.

The Boston Globe calls Denk an exceptional pianist blessed with “an unerring sense of the music’s dramatic structure and a great actor’s intuition for timing.”

"Beating the Odds: Preparing Underrepresented Minority Students for STEM Careers"

Rapid and dramatic demographic and technological changes present our nation’s colleges, universities, and schools with enormous challenges for educating and preparing students – particularly underrepresented minority students – for careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. Among the most critical questions we face are what will students need to know in order to succeed academically, and what skills and values must they possess? Additionally, what strategies can colleges and universities use to support and ensure the successful recruitment, retention, and graduation of students from all backgrounds in these fields? Answers to these questions will substantially affect the quality of life of all Americans and the nation’s global competitiveness in the first part of the 21st century.

Founded by Bernice Johnson Reagon in 1973 at the D.C. Black Repertory Theater Company, Sweet Honey In The Rock has evolved into an internationally renowned a cappella ensemble and a vital and innovative presence in the music culture of communities of conscience around the world.

The Biblical metaphor of sweet honey in the rock—sustenance and strength—captures completely these African American women whose repertory is steeped in the sacred music of the black church, the clarion calls of the civil rights movement, and songs of the struggle for justice everywhere.

Their performances are at once grand celebrations of gorgeously blended song and occasions for affirmation of the highest values of humanity.

Libbie Schrader is a songwriter with a great alt-pop/rock style. She has opened for Jewel and Rusted Root and has performed on the hit show Gilmore Girls. Come out and see this fantastic performer rock out at Gilberts!
