Bach and Beyond

 

Frankly Music opens its 19th season with Brooklyn-born pianist Simone Dinnerstein. MSO Principal Flute Sonora Slocum; MSO Assistant Principal cello Nicholas Mariscal; Frank Almond, violin, plus additional members of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra complete the ensemble for an evening of Bach and more in an intimate setting at the Milwaukee Youth Arts Center.

Called “an artist of strikingly original ideas and irrefutable integrity” by The Washington Post, Simone Dinnerstein first came to 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.”
