Violin virtuoso and Avery Fisher Career Grant Recipient SIMONE PORTER will perform Ludwig Van Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D Major with Great Bay Philharmonic Orchestra on Saturday, September 28, 8:00 PM at the Music Hall Historic Theater in Portsmouth. The program will also include Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7.
Executive Director and Producer, David Wold, says “SIMONE PORTER is arguably the greatest 23 year old violinist on the planet and certainly among the greatest of her generation. Great music at this level normally requires an expensive trip to Boston, and we’re happy to share the opportunity with everyone in your community.”
Great Bay Philharmonic Orchestra is a professional, regional orchestra, and with this concert is taking its place among the great orchestras of the Northeastern United States under the direction of David Upham, Music Director. Speaking of SIMONE PORTER, David Upham says, “She is one of the great young talents performing in the world today. Only a handful of artists are recipients of the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant and solo with the New York Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and other world-class orchestras. We’re thrilled to have her perform the sublime Beethoven Violin Concerto with us, and the jubilant Seventh Symphony will round out a wonderful all-Beethoven program.”
