Piano Concert featuring Simone Dinnerstein

New York-based pianist Simone Dinnerstein has been praised by Time magazine for her “arresting freshness and subtlety.”

Dinnerstein gained international recognition due to the remarkable success of her recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations. Her album, Bach: A Strange Beauty, was released in January 2011 and immediately earned the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Classical Chart and made the Billboard Top 200 of top selling albums in all genres. A graduate of The Julliard School, Dinnerstein was a winner of the Astral Artist National Auditions.

More about Simone Dinnerstein

Ms. Dinnerstein's performance schedule has taken her around the world since her triumphant New York recital debut at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall in 2005, performing Bach's Goldberg Variations. In New York she has performed on Lincoln Center's Great Performers series, and in three sold-out recitals at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. She is also a frequent performer at New York's (Le) Poisson Rouge, a club presenting all genres of music.

Simone Dinnerstein has played concerts throughout the United States for the Piatigorsky Foundation, an organization dedicated to bringing classical music to non-traditional venues. Amongst the places she has played are nursing homes, schools and community centers. Most notably, she gave the first classical music performance in the Louisiana state prison system when she played at the Avoyelles Correctional Center. She also performed at the Maryland Correctional Institution for Women, in a concert organized by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra to coincide with her BSO debut.
