EJ THOMAS HALL
One of the world's most sought-after pianists
She’s a regular with the world’s most important orchestras – but it almost wasn’t so: Simone Dinnerstein came to the piano later in life than most, dropped out of Juilliard, and struggled for recognition until she scraped together the funds to record Bach’s Goldberg Variations — which exploded to #1 on Billboard’s classical music chart. Now you can hear this massive talent in a more intimate way.

ABOUT SIMONE DINNERSTEIN
Simone Dinnerstein is an American pianist with 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.”
