Jeremy Denk, one of America’s foremost pianists, returns to the Center for the Arts for a special performance co-presented by the Fairfax Symphony Orchestra (FSO) and Great Performances at Mason. The winner of a MacArthur Genius Fellowship Grant and the Avery Fisher Prize, Denk was recently elected to the American Academy of Art and Sciences, and according to the New York Times, “... is a pianist you want to hear no matter what he performs.” Denk joins the esteemed FSO for Beethoven’s poetic Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 58, in a program that also includes the regional premiere of Quinn Mason’s She Dreams of Flying and Rachmaninoff’s last work, Symphonic Dances. Under the direction of Christopher Zimmerman, the FSO is one of the premier regional orchestras in the country and “a serious force to be reckoned with” (Washington Post).
