The second concert of the Tryon Concert Associations 56th season is scheduled for 8 p.m. on Friday, December 3, at the Tryon Fine Arts Center and will feature American classical pianist Jeremy Denk, a graduate of Oberlin College with a degree in music and chemistry.

Denk also holds a masters degree in music from the University of Indiana and a doctorate in piano performance from the Julliard School. In 1997, he won the Young Concert Artists International Award. During his career, he has worked with most of the worlds finest string quartets as well as major orchestras and many noted soloists.

His musical interpretations are described as original and fresh with comments such as the ideal interpreter of music that defies easy classification – Richmond Times; brilliant playing at the edge of Schumanns sanity – Washington Post; and, of his playing Waldstein Sonata, a radical take on a revolutionary work – New York Sun.
