Jason Hardink plays Transcendental Études and the Concord Sonata

Jason Hardink, Principal Keyboard of the Utah Symphony Orchestra, will perform for Cedar City on Tuesday, February 18, 2020. The concert will be held in the Thorley Recital Hall of SUU’s Music Building at 7:30 p.m.

Hardink will teach a master class during the day to SUU piano students. That evening he will perform a recital highlighting a selection of Franz Liszt’s Transcendental Études and the Concord Sonata by Charles Ives. A fearless interpreter of large-scale piano works both modern and historical, Jason Hardink’s recent repertoire includes the complete Michael Hersch The Vanishing Pavilions, Olivier Messiaen’s Vingt Regards sur l’Enfant-Jésus, the Liszt Transcendental Etudes paired with the Boulez Notations, and Wolfgang Rihm’s numbered Klavierstücke, all of which he performs from memory.
