“ultimately, it is Dinnerstein’s unreserved identification with every note she plays that makes her performance so spellbinding.” - The Washington Post

American pianist Simone Dinnerstein has a distinctive musical voice. The Washington Post has called her “an artist
of strikingly original ideas and irrefutable integrity.” She first came to wider public attention in 2007 through her recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, reflecting an aesthetic that was both deeply rooted in the score and profoundly idiosyncratic. She is, wrote The New York Times, “a unique voice in the forest of Bach interpretation.” Since that recording, she has had a busy performing career. She has played with orchestras ranging from the New York Philharmonic to the Melbourne Symphony and has performed in venues from Carnegie Hall to the Seoul Arts Center. Her 13 albums have all topped the Billboard classical charts, with her 2021 album, Richard Danielpour’s An American Mosaic, receiving a Grammy nomination in the category of Best Classical Instrumental Solo. Simone has a rich history with TMF. TMF director Mark Ludwig is proud to have commissioned two solo piano works for her by Nico Muhly and Ellis Ludwig Leone. She premiered Nico Muhly's “You Can’t Get There from Here,” for solo piano, on November 12, 2012 at Symphony Hall, Boston. On October 8, 2018 she performed the premiere of Ellis Ludwig-Leone: Sanctuary” at Symphony Hall, Boston. |
