Simone Dinnerstein & Tift Merritt: Ecstatic Music Festival

Lo spettacolo

Experience a highly engaging concert at Merkin Concert Hall in the heart of New York City: Pianist Simone Dinnerstein and singer‐songwriter Tift Merritt join forces in 'Night', a unique collaboration uniting folk, rock, and classical worlds, exploring common terrain and uncovering new musical landscapes.

Though Simone (a Juilliard‐trained classical pianist from Brooklyn) and Tift (a singer‐songwriter from North Carolina whose father taught her to play by ear) could not come from more different musical backgrounds, when the two met they immediately realized that their passion for music was kindred, if not the same. 'Night' features new songs by Brad Mehldau and Patty Griffin, Tift's own songs, selections by Bach and Schubert, and The Cohen Variations by Daniel Felsenfeld, based on Leonard Cohen’s 'Suzanne.'

The Ecstatic Music Festival at Merkin Concert Hall returns this winter with more than 120 composers and performers from diverse musical backgrounds coming together for 11 utterly unique and highly original collaborative performances.
