Pianist Jeremy Denk has endeared himself to audiences with his distinctive and refreshing interpretations of classical repertoire. In the opening concert of the 2019.20 season, Denk and The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra set their sights on the great Romantic piano concerto of Robert Schumann, a composer especially dear to Denk’s heart. Denk writes in his blog, Think Denk: “Schumann may not be so much a composer of pieces, as he is of visions, visions breaking through obscurity.” On the first half of the program, the orchestra raises the curtain on a new season with a conductorless performance of Rossini’s humorous romp, the Overture to The Silken Ladder. Schubert’s effervescent second symphony closes out the concert.
