COFFEE CONCERT at ORCHESTRA HALL Mozart, Bach & Tchaikovsky Xian Zhang, conductor; Simone Dinnerstein, Piano Minnesota Orchestra Xian Zhang, conductor Simone Dinnerstein piano MOZART Symphony No. 38, Prague BACH Piano Concerto in D minor, BWV 1052 TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No. 5 Thursday, March 18, 2010 Two exceptional Orchestra Hall debuts! Simone Dinnerstein grew up listening to Dylan, The Beatles, medieval music—in short, everything—but discovered that her heart lies first with Bach. How lucky for us, because few pianists today create a world this rich: elegant, electrifying, graceful and deeply moving. Also extraordinary: Xian Zhang, the New York Philharmonic's headline-grabbing associate conductor, the first woman to conduct the venerable Dresden Staatskapelle.
