Jeremy Denk
![]() 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.” 11 - 5 p.m.
Knee Deep and Risin'
The Grossman Gallery, in the Williams Visual Arts Building, is one block from the Delaware River and sits directly over the Bushkill Creek. Both bodies of water have overflowed their banks in recent years. Knee Deep and Risin', created by Jim Toia and Noah Vawter, is a multimedia installation of video and audio feeds from both waterways. Infrared sensors, triggered by visitors' moving the exhibition screens, activate live and recorded video and audio, simulating flood events from fresh perspectives. Knee Deep and Risin' is an interdisciplinary project by Lafayette College's Department of Computer Science, Department of Art, Grossman Gallery, Community Based Teaching Program, and the Lehigh Valley Performing Arts High School.
