Brahms in the Afternoon at Camphill Ghent

Join us in the Camphill Ghent Hall on Monday, February 25, at 3pm, for a very special afternoon treat! Williams College music (and math) majors, Benjamin Mygatt and Qiana Yang, will gift us with performances of two violin sonatas by Johannes Brahms. Benjamin Mygatt is a native of Raleigh, North Carolina majoring in music and mathematics at Williams College. Ben started playing violin at the age of 5 under the Suzuki method and later studied with Dovid Friedlander of the North Carolina Symphony. At Williams, he studies with Joanna Kurkowicz, Concertmistress of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. He is a co-founder of the Axxea Quartet, a group which had the opportunity to play at Lincoln Center in February, 2018, as part of the ICMF festival. Ben is also a member of the Chamber Orchestra of Williams and the Berkshire Symphony. This past spring, he was a winner of the Berkshire Soloist Competition, playing the Shostakovich Violin Concerto in A minor. In his free time, Ben enjoys rock climbing and basking in the music of Bach, Mahler, and Alma Deutscher (and, of course, Brahms). Ben plays on a mystery instrument made of wood generously on loan from his parents. Qiana Yang is a rocking female pianist majoring in music and mathematics at Williams College. She started playing the piano at age 4 and is currently studying with Elizabeth Wright. In college, she became deeply committed to chamber music. Recently, she won the 2018 Berkshire Soloist Competition with the Schumann concerto. She is an alumna of Meadowmount School of music, where she studied with Eric Larsen and Ann Schein. In the past summer, she studied collaborative piano at Aspen Festival and School and was the youngest pianist in the program. Her absolute favorite pieces of music are the three Brahms violin sonatas she would still be content with her life if all she could play are the three sonatas. In her free time, she enjoys reading, research, keeping a vivid dream journal, and hiking at 5 am in the morning, despite her inability to walk downhill without falling.

The Keyboard Astride the Centuries

Simone Dinnerstein, pianoAmerican pianist Simone Dinnerstein is known for her “majestic originality of vision” (The Independent) and her “lean, knowing and unpretentious elegance” (The New Yorker). In 2017 Dinnerstein released the album Mozart in Havana, recorded in Cuba with the Havana Lyceum Orchestra. She went on to bring the orchestra to the United States for their first ever American tour. In the same year Dinnerstein premiered a piano concerto written for her by Philip Glass and co-commissioned by twelve orchestras. She will perform the concerto nationally and internationally during 2018 and has recorded it for release in the spring. In 2017 she also collaborated with choreographer Pam Tanowitz on New Work for Goldberg Variations, which featured on the year-end top ten lists of critics at The New York Times and The Boston Globe. Dinnerstein first attracted attention in 2007 with her self-produced recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations. It was a remarkable success, reaching No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Classical Chart, and established Dinnerstein’s distinctive and original approach. The New York Times called her “a unique voice in the forest of Bach interpretation.” Her career has since taken her around the world from Brazil to Japan and she has made a further eight albums with repertoire from Beethoven to Ravel. Dinnerstein is committed to musical outreach. She plays concerts for the Piatigorsky Foundation, an organization dedicated to bringing classical music to non-traditional venues. Under their auspices she gave the first classical music performance in the Louisiana state prison system at the Avoyelles Correctional Center. She also runs her own concert series supporting music education in public schools and brings a digital keyboard into elementary school classrooms across the country through her Bachpacking initiative. Dinnerstein is on the faculty of the Mannes School of Music and lives in Brooklyn with her husband, son and Old English Sheepdog, Daisy.
