Simone Dinnerstein Concerts

Experience Simone Dinnerstein

Simone Dinnerstein is an American pianist celebrated for her deeply thoughtful and emotionally resonant interpretations of classical music, particularly the works of Bach, Scarlatti, and Glass. Rising to prominence after self-producing and distributing a recording of Bach’s *Goldberg Variations* in 2007 – a project born from a desire to make the music accessible – she quickly gained international recognition.

Dinnerstein’s playing is characterized by clarity, precision, and a profound connection to the emotional core of each piece. She avoids stylistic excess, favoring instead a directness that allows the composer’s voice to shine. This approach has led to performances with major orchestras worldwide, including the New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony Orchestra, and London Symphony Orchestra, collaborating with conductors like Marin Alsop and Sir Simon Rattle.

Beyond standard repertoire, Dinnerstein actively commissions and performs new works, notably by Nico Muhly and Philip Glass (who dedicated his Piano Concerto No. 3 to her). She's also known for her “Neighborhood Concert Series,” bringing intimate performances into non-traditional spaces. Her discography includes critically acclaimed recordings on Sony Classical and New Amsterdam Records, consistently praised for their intellectual rigor and expressive beauty.
