• Simone Dinnerstein, piano
• Awadagin Pratt, piano

Johann Sebastian Bach — O Lamm Gottes unschuldig, BWV 656 (arr. György Kurtág)
Johannes Brahms — Ballades, Op. 10 (No. 1 and 2)
Philip Glass — Étude No. 6
Franz Schubert — Fantasia in F minor for piano four hands, Op. posth. 103, D. 940
Ludwig van Beethoven — Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68 "Pastorale" (arr. Selmar Bagge)

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, Op. 68 “Pastoral,” 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.
