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 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, which musically reference some of Bach’s other sonatas written for two instruments.
