Utah Symphony’s principal keyboardist Jason Hardink performs at SUU
By Ashley H Pollock
Jason Hardink, principal keyboard of the Utah Symphony Orchestra, will perform in Cedar City Feb. 18. The concert will be held in the Thorley Recital Hall of SUU’s music building at 7:30 p.m. This recital is free and open to the public.
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 Etudes and the Concord Sonata by Charles Ives.
A fearless interpreter of both modern and historic large-scale piano works, Hardink’s recent repertoire includes Michael Hersch’s “The Vanishing Pavilions,” Olivier Messiaen’s “Vingt Regards sur l’Enfant-Jésus,” Liszt’s Transcendental Etudes paired with the Boulez notations, and Wolfgang Rihm’s numbered Klavierstücke, all of which he performs from memory.
Hardink is a native of Rhode Island and a graduate of both Oberlin Conservatory and the Shepherd School of Music at Rice University. His former teachers include Robert Boberg and Sanford Margolis. Hardink holds a doctoral degree in music from Rice University where he studied with Brian Connelly.
