Polk’s albums have been deemed “best of the year” by the New York Times and Seattle Times, been nominated for a Grammy, and debuted at #1 on the Classical Billboard Chart. Among her many illustrious credits are performances with the English Chamber Orchestra at the Barbican Center in London under the baton of Paul Goodwin, the Women’s Philharmonic in San Francisco with conductor Apo Hsu, and with Lark Quartet at Merkin Concert Hall in New York City. She received her Bachelor of Music and Master of Music Degrees from The Juilliard School, and her Doctor of Musical Arts Degree from Manhattan School of Music, where she serves as a member of the piano faculty.
“Joanne Polk’s Spencertown recital offers a unique opportunity to hear a major artist in an intimate setting,” says Jan Douglas, member of the Academy Music Committee and head of Classical Sunday programming. “She is known for playing with graceful, elegant conviction and brilliant technique and for her award-winning and critically acclaimed recordings of works by women composers.”
