SF Performances Presents: Simone Porter, violin and Hsin-I Huang, piano
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Violinist Simone Porter and pianist Hsin-I Huang will present a program with San Francisco Performances at the Conservatory of Music Concert Hall featuring works by Mozart, Janacek, Salonen, Chausson, and Ravel.
Simone Porter has been recognized as an emerging artist of impassioned energy, musical integrity, and vibrant sound. After performing last season with Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic the LA Times declared Porter "on the cusp of a major career". Elsewhere, her performances have been described as "bold" (Seattle Times) and "virtuosic" (London Times), and at 19 years of age, Porter has already appeared with the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, Houston Symphony, and Los Angeles Philharmonic, and with renowned conductors including Yannick Nezet-Seguin, Nicolas McGegan, Ludovic Morlot, and Donald Runnicles. Porter made her professional solo debut at age 10 with the Seattle Symphony and her international debut with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at age 13.
Porter is an avid chamber musician, having most recently collaborated with violinist James Ehnes at a benefit concert in Zipper Hall in Los Angeles. Additionally, she appeared multiple occasion on the Colburn Chamber Music Society Series at Zipper Hall with violinists Arnold Steinhardt and Scott St. John, on the South Bay Chamber Music Society with violist Paul Coletti, and at the Miami International Piano Festival.
The recipient of numerous honors and awards, Porter is a 2011 Davidson Fellow Laureate, an award given by the Davidson Institute for Talent Development, which carries a $50,000 scholarship to further her musical education. In 2009, she was presented as an Emerging Young Artist by the Seattle Chamber Music Society.
