Acclaimed pianist Simone Dinnerstein joins the Chamber Orchestra for a captivating performance of two vibrant concertos. J.S. Bach’s Keyboard Concerto in G Minor is filled with the indelible, finely woven melodies of the Baroque master; all brought to life by “a singularly elegant Bach pianist” (NPR). Philip Glass’ Piano Concerto No. 3, written for and dedicated to Dinnerstein, showcases the composer’s rich harmonies and distinctive sound that have delighted listeners for more than 50 years. As the Washington Post writes, “ultimately, it is Dinnerstein’s unreserved identification with every note she plays that makes her performance so spellbinding.”
