Simone Dinnerstein, piano

Recitalist Series Ruth Bader Ginsburg Memorial Recital Simone Dinnerstein, piano Sunday, October 18, 2026, 7:30 p.m. Sixth & I Lauded by The Washington Post as “an artist of strikingly original ideas and irrefutable integrity,” Simone Dinnerstein returns to Washington Performing Arts for an evening of distinctive artistry at Sixth & I. The program opens with Rameau’s rarely performed Gavotte et six doubles, followed by American composer Philip Lasser’s Twelve Variations on Chorale by J.S. Bach, exploring the power and modernity of Bach’s harmonic poetry. Dinnerstein continues to demonstrate her “unique voice in the forest of Bach interpretation” (The New York Times) with the composer’s 15 Sinfonias, and closes her program with Keith Jarrett’s Encore from “Tokyo,” ending the night on a note of otherworldly serenity. Dinnerstein’s performance is the fifth-annual Ruth Bader Ginsburg Memorial Recital – a creative initiative connecting Justice Ginsburg’s love of music, the esteemed artists she championed and befriended, and the future of the vocal and instrumental arts in which she delighted.
