Music Worcester Presents: Simone Dinnerstein | Bach Inventions & Sinfonias

Simone Dinnerstein, Music Worcester’s first Artist in Residence (2018-2019), returns to Worcester for BACHtoberfest 2025 to perform two headlining concerts this festival weekend. With long-time collaborator Alexis Gerlach, the duo brings a unique interpretation of J.S. Bach’s Viola da Gamba Sonatas to this headlining performance, alongside the complete Inventions and Sinfonias.
Her work with Bach’s Inventions and Sinfonias originally debuted in album-format in 2014, still receiving attention for her interpretations. Dinnerstein’s performances of Bach’s keyboard works have garnered her acclaim and recognition for both her accuracy and interpretation. This program also features three sonatas for viola da gamba and harpsichord (performed on piano), which musically reference some of Bach’s other sonatas written for two instruments.
Bach’s Inventions & Sinfonias are indispensable to pianists, being both a classroom and playground. Made up of thirty small works ranging in complexity, this collection of works has acted as a lifelong companion for Dinnerstein. There are instances of imitation, repetition, canons, and harmonic development that push these works from practice to concert hall.
