Some Satisfaction

Several posts back I mentioned a young man who was taking college auditions. I'm pleased to say he was admitted to FSU as a Music Education Major. That was his first choice, and I'm delighted for him. This is a student who made a perfect score on the math SAT, and yet wants to be a music teacher! He will be a credit to the profession.

Jeremy Denk, pianist

I neglecged to include Jeremy's website information in the previous post, and I just found out that he is giving his Cleveland Orchestra debut with the Bartok Concerto No. 3 next weekend! Wish I could hear that.

Jeremy Denk performed the Bartok Piano Concerto No.3 with The Florida Orchestra last evening in Clearwater's Ruth Eckerd Hall. It was altogether a marvelous performance, both exciting and illuminating. What a pleasure to finally hear this wonderful artist perform in person. Mei-Ann Chen was the guest conductor, and she did an excellent job on the entire program. Also performed were Jennifer Higdon's blue cathedral and Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade. A thoroughly satisfying concert.
