SIMONE DINNERSTEIN & AWADAGIN PRATT, piano
Mon, Oct 30, 7:30 p.m.
Kennedy Center Terrace Theater

For more than 20 years, Simone Dinnerstein and Awadagin Pratt have garnered individual praise for originality and astounding technical prowess—Pratt as an award-winning pianist, conductor, and educator, and Dinnerstein for her luminous piano interpretations of Bach, Glass, and beyond. Together at the Terrace Theater, these former Hayes Series artists perform a remarkable four-hand piano program, sharing one instrument and playing simultaneously on the same keyboard. This exciting and unique musical experience features an arrangement of Beethoven’s impressively challenging Symphony No. 6 in F Major, “Pastorale” and Schubert’s lyrical and lively Fantasie in F Minor, including some of the most expressive phrasing in the composer’s canon. Dinnerstein and Pratt also perform Johann Sebastian Bach piano transcriptions arranged for four-hands by György Kurtag plus solo works by Philip Glass, and more.
