Kudos to @jeremydenk.bsky.social and all the cast and creators behind 'Ivesiade,' the celebration of composer Charles Ives at Little Island in NYC on Saturday.
Denk's latest album, 'Ives Denk,' was released for the Ives sesquicentennial in 2024; you can hear it at jeremydenk.lnk.to/ivesdenk

Hi @jeremydenk.bsky.social! I love your book, especially the audiobook with music! 👌I recommend it to all my classical music loving friends, and even bought a copy for our kids’ piano teacher! Thank you for sharing your story. The way you talk about music is simply beautiful.
